Nick Granato – Somewhere In The Sand lyrics

Words & Music By
Nick Granato

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...
