Drop In The Stitch

We're not always lucky enough

To find what we want in the dirt and the dust

You might find diamonds when I might find glass

In the dirt and the dust

And we're not always virtuous enough

To brush ourselves clean of the dirt and the dust

Once I found silver but then watched it rust

In the dirt and the dust

There's only one step between

Something just thought of and something that's already been

You can't position yourself like a dog on a shelf

Hoping someone might pick you up

And show you what you really need

So we trust in what we find in the dirt and the dust

If you want to make it then make you must from the dirt and the dust

Rarely are we smart enough to divide the water from beneath the hard crust

We keep on lowering buckets and we keep on drawing them out

There's only one step between

Something just thought of and something that's already been

You can't position yourself like a dog on a shelf

Hoping someone might pick you up

And show you what you really need

So we trust in what we find in the dirt and the dust

If you want to make it then make you must from the dirt and the dust

Now we trust in what we find in the dirt and the dust

If you want to make it then make you must from the dirt and the dust

Beneath the sky is just just a blanket

Thrown over us like a net

And every star is just a drop in the stitch

Proving we're not ready yet

Just a drop in the stitch proving we're not ready yet

Now we trust in what we find in the dirt and the dust

If you want to make it then make you must from the dirt and the dust
