I fell awake this morning and thought
I saw the sun on its way down
And this evening when the sky got bright
I realized that I'd been turnin' around
So Lord I've come again to ask you
What it is and where it is I've been
And if my hands weren't worthy
Lord I'd love to touch your shining face again

For I touched it as a child
I could feel it for my brother
And I saw him smiling gentle
Your shining face upon the flowers

And I recalled the times
When I could come to you with open heart and mind
Knowin' I could ask you Lord
You'd lead me through the valley one more time
So now I stand before you Lord
To pray that you will wash away my sins
And if you'll cleanse my dirty hands
I'd love to touch your shining face again

For I touched it as a child
I could feel it for my brother
And I saw him smiling gentle
Your shining face upon the flowers
Yes we touched it as a child
(Yes we touched it as a child)
We could feel it for each other
(We could feel it for each other)
And we saw him smiling gentle
(And we saw him smiling gentle)
His shining face among the flowers
