there's something in my eyes
i measure every grief i meet
with clocks and spoons and devils feet
with narrow probing eyes
i wonder if it weighs as much as mine
or is a smaller size
God is growing up above
and for those of us who pray
you can look forever and never see his face
and we're all swept away
anyway
we're all swept away
i wonder if i can?
i wonder if i'll ever hear replies?
if i'll ever get it right?
i'll play my rivals hand
and cover up the visions of the sun
and my life's a loaded gun
God is growing up above
and for those of us who pray
you can look forever and never see his face
and we're all swept away
anyway
we're all swept away
my faith is larger than
the hills so when those mighty hills decay
a wheel must show the soun the way
this is my final stand
it's graceful and mechanical and cold
as we watch the times unfold
God is growing up above
and for those of us who pray
you can look forever and never see his face
and we're all swept away
anyway
we're all swept away
