One Grain of Sand Lyrics

The great dark shoulders of lava rock stood stark and naked
Mightier than any fortress
Alongside that view I felt I was no more than a pint of dust
To which someday every man will be reduced
That dust, I thought, when scattered
On the gargantuan shoulders of Rainier
Would be as insignificant as a handful of sand in an endless ocean

One grain of sand
One grain of sand
One grain of sand
One grain of sand
One grain of sand
One grain of sand
One grain of sand

One drop of water in the sea
One grain of sand
One little you, one little me
One grain of sand
One lonely star up in the blue
One grain of sand
One little me, one little you
One grain of sand
One leaf of grass upon the plain
One grain of sand

I′ll sing it now again and again and again

One grain of sand
One grain of sand is all my joy
One grain of sand
One little girl, one little boy
One leaf of grass
One leaf of grass upon the plain
One leaf of grass
We come and go again and again

The sun will rise
The sun will rise and then go down
The sun will rise
One little world go round and round and round

One grain of sand
One grain of sand is all my own
One grain of sand
One grain of sand is home sweet home
