Based on a vision I had of my future, and the knowledge that while I would never have a child in this life, I'd had them in another.

lyrics

Have you ever seen perfection?
Personified, crystallized
The Truth in a grain of sand?

Have you ever seen perfection?
Personified, crystallized
The Truth in a grain of sand?

And I can trace the lines that run across my fading skin
And I can feel the magic in the visions in my dreams
And I can touch the floating hands above me when I sleep
And I can sing the secret songs, I’ve known them since my birth

Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever

Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever seen?

Have you ever seen perfection?
Personified, crystallized
The Truth in a grain of sand?

Have you ever seen perfection?
Personified, crystallized
The Truth in a grain of sand?

And I can trace the lines that run across my fading skin
And I can feel the magic in the visions in my dreams
And I can touch the floating hands above me when I sleep
And I can sing the secret songs, I’ve known them since my birth

Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever

Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever seen?
Oh –

Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever

Have you ever
Have you ever
Have you ever seen?
