[music - anderson, elliott, keazer, leighton]

[lyrics - hill]



cradled within a hand

she finds the strength to stand

she reaches out with both hands

to caress a face she can't understand



a world she can't find

she knows in her mind

she can see it so clearly



but when the hour glass spills

its last grains of sand 

she must turn it over

and continue her life

before the dream began



have you seen me?



when you escape

into your castle of sand

do you find me

among the pictures on the wall?

do you fall to your knees?

can you tell me who I am?



mourning by a sullen door

mother collapses to the floor

crippled from the stolen years

captured memories stained in tears

once held the future

now it's lost in years

cradle still for many years



have you seen me?



when you escape

into your castle of sand

do you find me

among the pictures on the wall?



do you fall to your knees?

can you tell me who I am?
