Numbers

Through desert sands they wondered long
A fiery cloud their guiding song
Each step a promise carved in stone
No one walks this path alone
Each tribe a story each name a light
Through endless days and starlit nights
Led by a voice they couldn't see
A map of faith a destiny 
Every life a tread to weave
A grand design none could conceive
The census told what hearts endure
Through numbers love stand strong and pure
Number them stars above the skies
Count all the tears that fall from the eyes 
Each name was written in his hands
A chosen tribe to roam the land
Wilderness counting
The book of numbers
In the wilderness we count the souls
Marching together thats how we roll
Census taken each name in line
Building a nation with purpose divine
From the camp to the promise traveled far
Guided by faith like a shining star
The book of numbers
Name in the sand called one by one
A wilderness marched beneath the sun
Twelve tribes moving in a perfect line
Each step a promise each step divine
Cloud by day and the flame at night
Journey long but the ends in sight
A thousand stories in a single name
Chosen people we rise the same
When the census calls when we stand in line
Wilted hearts and wandering minds
He whispers softly you are mine
Through every number grace entwines 
Through desers dry where doubts invade
His hand is steady his love won't fade
No man's too lost no soul unloved
Our names are written in stars above
We are numbered but free can't you see
Guided by fire through a relentless sea
In the chaos he's counting me
We are numbered but free can't you see
