Sandcastles Lyrics

Time is not your friend or mine

So learn to toe the line

And embrace the years wisely

You should know that growing old is not a curse

This is a perfect universe

We are sandcastles by the sea

Seconds, minutes, hours

Turn to days, weeks, months and years

Never stopping even momentarily

You should know that growing old is not a curse

And we are privileged to be

Like sandcastles by the sea

Please understand that we were made by guiding hands

All of us crafted from the sands that lay beneath our feet

You should know that growing old is not a curse

In fact the truth is the reverse

We are sandcastles by the sea

Don't be blue like the oceans and the tide

You have to take it in your stride

Acceptance is the key

You should know that growing old is not a curse

It is a blessing nothing worse

We are sandcastles by the sea

It's true, that our bodies wash away

Like the sand beside the bay

As the sun sets on the quay

You should know that growing old is not a curse

It's just the way that we are versed

We are sandcastles by the sea

We all started out as seeds

Then very quickly life proceeds

Before you know it you're a tree

You should know that growing old is not a curse

So live your life fully immersed

We are sandcastles by the sea
