Wow what a moving song. We sang this with our choir. I had to translate the text into german for the sheets but I had no idea what this line was saying:

"I know that who I am is numbered in each grain of sand"

What does it mean?

I guess a year later isn't TOO terrible. :)

I believe it promotes a sort of unity, a link between everything. He is part of the universe, who he is is numbered in each grain of sand. Maybe kind of a circle of life, kumbayah type thing.
