Sandcastle Dreams
We built our kingdom of sand and dreams
A fortress of shells and seaweed streams
We dug our moat with buckets and spades
And prayed the tide would not invade
Our walls were high our towers tall
But storms came and watched them fall
The sea devoured our sandy home
Leaving us stranded feeling alone
Gone are the days of carefree play
Building castles on the beach all day
For we have learned that nothing lasts
Everything even dreams get washed away
And so we stand and watch from afar
As people build their castles near the shore
We know they too soon will be gone
And so we mourn for whats been done
