Song of Sand (Acoustic Version) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If sand waves were sound waves
What song would be in the air now?
What stinging tune
Could split this endless noon
And make the sky swell with rain?

[Verse 2]
If war were a game that a man or a child
Could think of winning
What kind of rule
Can overthrow a fool
And leave the land with no stain?

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
If sand waves were sound waves
What song would be in the air now?
What stinging tune
Could split this endless noon
And make the sky swell with rain?
