We made of passion
End up in ashes
We build and break things,
Like sand castles
It’s beautiful when it’s ephemeral,
Will the time keep running if the mind can stop it?
Laughing with you is like a handful of thruth,
It happens with you cause you can handle the truth.
The best of friends, yeah, sipping and relaxing
Sipping in the grass cool kids just keep on laughing
We can build the best things if we get the chances
We can make the bells ring even if they’re plastic
Wanna do the math? yeah we consider it a blessing
Thing’s so good, just to have it for a second,
Second's gone past, oh baby don’t cling
Owning a castle don’t make you no king
Open up your eyes this beauty ain't forever
Digging up gold baby you will find a treasure
(HOOK)
Memories way back
When kids would play in sand
I think about that
And I like the way it feels
(VERSE)
Yeah, we don’t play like we used to,
Loops and sounds, and balls in the playground.
Got the feeling we, move this crowd way more gracefully
Cause when we shout a line on the top of our lungs, Music has the power to inspire the young,
Make another record we can sound the alarm,
“Gotta stay together, make communities strong!” (yeah)
We never knew one like that,
Papa tell me why you never teach me like that?
Brothers in the family you gotta chitchat
Passing on the word, it’s the one that comes out! (Man) That’s what’s true to me,
Straight and from the heart, it’s the UNITY,
Coming from the start, that’s COMMUNITY,
Never heard of that? Man, that’s news to me!
(HOOK) x2
Memories way back
When kids would play in sand
I think about that
And I like the way it feels
