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
