monty harper - grain of sand lyrics

[verse 1]
i am a small grain of sand
i am a piece of the land
a crystal of quartz; a time_piece of sorts
absorbing the energy at hand
a patient and ancient grain
of sand

[verse 2]
once i was blocked from the sun
my time as a clock had begun
each radiant spark that strikes in the dark
knocks one more electron undone
i trap them. i store them one
by one
[bridge]
now i am lifted away from my site
suddenly dazzled with blinding blue light
my trapped electrons all flow back where they belong
they glow as they go
you count the photons; you calculate my dose
your machine lets you know
how many millennia i spent collecting
electrons for you
now i am reset and waiting for darkness
to start me anew

[verse 1]
i am a small grain of sand
i am a piece of the land
a crystal of quartz; a time_piece of sorts
absorbing the energy at hand
a patient and ancient grain
of sand
