lyrics

In the beginning
The world was a warehouse
The Old Man was tinkering in his shop
He worked on the trees
And then on the breeze
Then, at the end of the day,
He scooped up a handful of clay
We all know what he made
From the dust

In the thirties
The wind took the topsoil
He loved whipping up those
Angry clouds
Sometimes all we ate
Was the grit on our plates
Mama would pray through the night
I can still see that look in her eyes
Let those pastures of plenty arise
From the dust

Chorus
From the dust I saw a flower bloom
From the dust I see myself in you
Our dreams can still come true
I can see it shining through
From the dust
From the dust

Yesterday,
The world crashed around us
Fire rained down from the sky
From the man on the street
To the cop on the beat
We were better than we
Ever thought we were
And from that fire that still burns
I still believe hope returns
From the dust

Chorus
