Sometimes I believe all the lies

So I can do the things I should despise

And every day I am swayed

By whatever is on my mind



I hear it all depends on my faith

So I'm feeling precarious

The only problem I have with these mysteries

Is they're so mysterious



And like a consumer I've been thinking

If I could just get a bit more

More than my 15 minutes of faith,

Then I'd be secure



(Chorus)

My faith is like shifting sand

Changed by every wave

My faith is like shifting sand

So I stand on grace



I've begged you for some proof

For my Thomas eyes to see

A slithering staff, a leprous hand

And lions resting lazily



A glimpse of your back-side glory

And this soaked altar going ablaze

But you know I've seen so much

I explained it away



Chorus



Waters rose as my doubts reigned

My sand-castle faith, it slipped away

Found myself standing on your grace

It'd been there all the time



(Chorus repeated)
