All the chisels I've dulled carving idols of stone
that have crumbled like sand 'neath the waves
I recklessly build all my dreams in the sand,
just to watch them all wash away

Through another day, another trial
Another chance to reconcile
To all the seas past I have seen,
and reaching out my weary hand,
I pray that you'll understand,
You're the only one who's faithful to me.

All the pennies I've wasted in my wishing well
I have thrown like stars to the sea.
I've cast my lot, dropped my guard, searched aimlessly,
for a faith to be faithful to me.

Through another day, another trial,
Another chance to reconcile
To all the seas past all I've seen,
and reaching out my weary hand,
I pray that you'll understand,
You're the only one who's faithful to me.
