I fell awake this morning
and thought I saw the sun
And this evening when the sky got bright
I realized that I'd been turned around
to ask you what it is and
And if my hands weren't dirty, Lord,
I'd love to touch your shining face again
For I touched it as a child
I could feel it for my brother,
and I saw it smiling gentle,
your shining face among the flowers.
to lead me through the valley one more time
So now I stand before you, Lord,
to pray that you will wash
And if you'll cleanse my dirty hands,
I'd love to touch your shining face again
For I touched it as a child,
I could feel it for my brother
And I saw it smiling gentle,
your shining face among the firework
Yes, we touched it as a child
Yes, we touched it as a child
We could feel it for each other
We could feel it for each other
And we saw it smiling gentle
And we saw it smiling gentle
Her shining face among the flowers
