Lyrics
In the tick of a second hand
My life forever changed
Got the news from my loving wife
There?s a baby on the way
It?s gonna be a tiny girl
How I feel inside
My excitement filled with tears
Ego, fear and pride
I am just a Grain Of Sand
Like a hundred million dads
An ordinary simple man who loves his daughter
I can?t hide her from it all
A Grain Of Sand is
Very small. So very small
In the fall on a rainy night
My daughter came to be
All the worries that I had
Intensified for me
In a world beyond control
In places I can?t see
I will do the best I can
Then get down on my knees
I am just a Grain Of Sand
Like a hundred million dads
An ordinary simple man who loves his daughter
I can?t hide her from it all
A Grain Of Sand is
Very small, so very small, so very small, so very small
Love.
Now that I feel love
It?s gonna break my heart
The feeling in my heart
I am just a Grain Of Sand
Like a hundred million dads
An ordinary simple man who loves his daughter
I can?t hide her from it all
A Grain Of Sand is
Very small, so very small, so very small, so very small
