 And every time I pass that way I always hear my name
 Then onward in my journey I come to understand
 That every hair is numbered like every grain of sand

 When you’re near me, my heart forgets to beat
 You’re there every night among the good and the true
 And I’ll be around, waitin’ for you

🎶We heard the Sermon on the Mount and I knew it was too complex.
It didn’t amount to anything more than what the broken glass reflects.
When you bite off more than you can chew, you pay the penalty.
Somebody’s got to tell the tale; I guess it must be up to me.🎶

 As I walked out tonight in the mystic garden
 The wounded flowers were dangling from the vines
 I was passing by yon cool and crystal fountain
 Someone hit me from behind
