I felt my life with both my hands
I felt my life with both my hands
To see if it was there
To see if it was there
I held my spirit to the Glass
I held my spirit to the Glass
To prove it possibler
To prove it possible
I turned my Being round and round
I turned my Being round and round
And paused at every pound
And paused at every pound
To ask the Owner's name
To ask the Owner's name
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
To ask the Owner's name
To ask the Owner's name
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
I judged my features, jarred my hair
I judged my features, jarred my hair
I pushed my dimples by
I pushed my dimples by
And waited, if they twinkled back
And waited, if they twinkled back
Conviction might, of me
Conviction might, of me
I turned my Being round and round
I turned my Being round and round
And paused at every pound
And paused at every pound
To ask the Owner's name
To ask the Owner's name
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
To ask the Owner's name
To ask the Owner's name
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
I told myself, "Take Courage, Friend
I told myself, 'Take Courage, Friend'
That was a former time
That was a former time
But we might learn to like the Heaven
But we might learn to like the Heaven
As well as our Old Home!"
As well as our Old Home!
I turned my Being round and round and round
I turned my Being round and round and round
And paused at every pound
And paused at every pound
To ask the Owner's name
To ask the Owner's name
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
To ask the Owner's name
To ask the Owner's name
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
For doubt, that I should know the Sound
I felt my life with both my hands
I grasped my life with both my hands
To see if it was there
To see if it was truly there
