Can you tell the difference, between the pebble and the boy,
|
Far away in the distance, with the sun in your eyes,
|
Can you see the footprints, that have merged with the sand,
|
And you're trying to find them, you find only dry land.
|
|
Can you tell the difference, between the pebble and the boy,
|
Can you follow the heartbeats between the boy and the man,
|
If you can, if you can.
|
|
Can you see the future, with every step you take,
|
yet you feel your no further, and your walking away,
|
Can you tell the difference between the pepple and the man
|
Far away in the ocean, with his back on dry sand.
|
|
Can you tell the difference, between the pepple and the boy,
|
Can you follow the heartbeats between the boy and the man,
|
If you can, if you can.
