Somewhere in the sand, a little boy builds a castle

Surrounds it with high walls, 

to keep the waves from crashing in,

But the tide is just too strong, 

and his kingdom starts to crumble

And grain by grain his castle falls 

Back into the sea......

Somewhere on the ocean, there's a boat caught in a storm,

Tattered sails and broken keel, no way to head for port,

At the mercy of the waters, 

the captain's done all he can do,

As the waves begin to take their toll 

He prays they'll make it through…

And the winds can be relentless, 

ever strong and never kind,

Leaving you defenseless to face an angry sky,

Some have stood against the currents

Some have lost their will to stand,

And some you'll find in pieces scattered

Somewhere in the sand….

Somewhere in the sand, if you look closely you will see,

Among the shells you'll find, 

bits of lives and broken dreams,

Shifting with life's winds, carried by it's changing tides,

Some are caught up in the undertow, never to arrive…

And the ocean claims it's treasures, 

with every ebb and flow,

Through all life's pains and pleasures, 

it's hard to ever know,

Some have stood against the waters,

And some have lost their will to stand…

But most you'll see have found some peace….

Somewhere in the sand….

Somewhere in the sand, a little boy builds a castle

Surrounds it with high walls,

to keep the waves from crashing in

Somewhere in the sand…
