Castles in the Sand Lyrics

When I was a child i spent the day at the beach

My whole world was within my reach

I'd build up a city then tear it down

My head in the clouds

My feet on the ground

Id start all over build one anew

And this time i will include you

My masterpiece will not be complete

Until i lay it at your feet

Building castles in the sand

They were never meant to stand

Each of us is just one man

Building castles in the sand

Now as a man life seems complete

Keeping my whole world within my reach

Building it up just to be torn down

My gathered possessions are scattered around

I want to start a life anew

And this time I will include you

My master piece will not be complete

Until I lay it at your feet

Building castles in the sand

They were never meant to stand

Each of us is just one man

Building castles in the sand

And just like a child I realized

The moment I looked into you eyes

And just like a child I understand

Without the rock I'm building castles in the sand

I wanna start a life anew

And this time I will include you

My masterpiece will not be complete

until I lay it at your feet

Building castles in the sand

They were never meant to stand

Each of us is just one man

Building castles in the sand

Without the rock

I'm just one man building castles in the sand
