Lyrics
Sole of my shoe
The bottom part of my shoe
Grain of sand
A tiny particle of sand
Sole of my shoe
Referring again to the sole of the shoe
Grain of sand
Reiteration of the small size of the sand particle
Little grain of sand
Emphasis on the smallness of the sand grain, possibly metaphorical
Little grain of sand
-Little grain of sand
-From the mud of ocean
Originating from the ocean mud and a vast land
And a land that spans
-What was
Reflecting on the past and present states of existence
What is
-What was
-What is
-Palm of my hand
Comparing the hand's palm to a grain of sand, emphasizing smallness
Grain of sand
-Palm of my hand
-Grain of sand
-Little grain of sand
Reiteration of the significance of the small sand grain
Little grain of sand
-Little grain of sand
-From the mud of ocean
Repeating the origin from ocean mud and a vast land, reflecting on past and present
And a land that spans
-What was
-What is
-What was
-What is
-Little grain of sand
Continued emphasis on the smallness of the sand grain, possibly representing insignificance
Little grain of sand
-Little grain of sand
-Little grain of sand
-Little grain of sand
Final repetition, underscoring the theme of the small grain of sand
