Earth is shaking all around
buildings crumbling to the ground
screaming people crowd the streets
broken glass cut shoeless feet
someone's calling for a friend
another asking is this the end

powerless
powerless
just a grain of sand
caught in nature's hand

river overflows the land
killing animal and man
can't escape it, cannot hide
the lucky few await the tide

powerless
powerless
just a grain of sand
caught in nature's hand
powerless
just a grain of sand
caught in nature's hand

wind is beating down the door
a hurricane has reached the shore
throwing houses in the air
leaving families in despair

powerless
powerless
just a grain of sand
caught in nature's hand
powerless
powerless
just a grain of sand
caught in nature's hand
powerless
powerless
just a grain of sand
caught in nature's hand
nature's hand
nature's hand
powerless
powerless
