There's more to the world than what I've seen

There's more to my life than my eulogy

and if I ask my maker for one more day

When all of my chances are slipping away



I hear the bells and I see the clouds

All of the people out thinking aloud

All of the whispers and laughter and calls

People out frantic in search of it all



There's one in a million I'd be here today

There's one in a million that I get to stay

And if I ask my maker to see me through

When it seems there's nothing more that I can do



There's more who will live when gone are my days

and the sands waiting last to be swept away

but I still have time to look to the sky

and search through the clouds for some kind of sign



Bring on the lightning in bolts like a train

Let loose the screams of a mad hurricane

Bring down the water in buckets and all

Shake up the earth where all here will fall



But nothing, no splash, no flash and no sound

all that is left is my feet on the ground

Now I remember that life was a ball

When I was the person in search of it all



There's one in a million I'd be here today

There's one in a million that I get to stay

And if I ask my maker to see me through

When it seems there's nothing more that I can do
