about

The ancient story goes that God gave Abraham a promise of descendants as many as the stars in the sky and grains of sand on the beach. Other ancient writers suggest that those who believe are his kids. Is it possible that his vision and promise could apply to this generation?

lyrics

sleeping on the beach last night/woke with a cough and a choke my city was burning, city was burning/so I climb up the grind to the top to find I can’t get above the smoke can’t count stars/ future uncertain/city of man when will we understand/we cannot let grains of faith slip through our hands/like English Bay sand waiting for Abraham/he’s good and dead, still
the promise stands/do we know the time/dawn came early a south wind’s fury/dumping a deluge of rain everything blurring/sirens are whirring/the sky cried hard a river in every yard/the fire and the flood/now creatures
are stirring/one by one people start to run/ trying to find their way down to the ocean/ such a commotion/a million or more arrive on the shore/sun breaks through started rising started rising/the sky explodes in a blaze electric faces glow reflecting heaven’s light/as we’re soaking up the colour someone starts to holler “hey, it’s the Lord, he’s made us a meal/he’s made us a meal”/we gather round to eat, the Lord begins to speak words so clear/if you have ears/do you love me, do you love me/give me your answer can I be your dancer Abraham longed for this night under the stars/give me your answer can I be your dancer/ Abraham dreamed of this day right where you are/city of man when will we understand/we cannot let grains of faith slip through our hands like English Bay sand waiting for Abraham/he’s good and dead, still the promise stands/there’s more on Jericho’s shore/heaven’s on its feet shouting for the encore/do we know the time
