I felt my life with both my hands
To see if it was there 
I held my spirit to the glass
To prove it possibler 

I turned my being round and round
And paused at very pound
To ask the owner's name 
For doubt, that I should know the sound 
To ask the owner's name 
For doubt, that I should know the sound 

I judged my features, jarred my hair 
I pushed my dimples by and waited 
If they twinkled back 
Conviction might of me

 I turned my being round and round
And paused at very pound
To ask the owner's name 
For doubt, that I should know the sound 
To ask the owner's name 
For doubt, that I should know the sound 

I told myself, take courage, friend 
That was a former time 
But we might learn to like the Heaven
As well as our old home

I turned my being round and round and round
And paused at very pound
To ask the owner's name 
For doubt, that I should know the sound 
To ask the owner's name 
For doubt, that I should know the sound 

I felt my life with both my hands
To see if it was there
