Grains of Sand

Long, long ago

When we were all a little younger

The future was great

Dreams try to become a reality

Long, long ago

Our energy was like thunder

But during the years

We understood, we were deceived

We are only grains of sand

Extinct volcanos, put out the candles

We are only grains of sand

Not the pearls in the shell

We are only grains of sand

Dull, dusty swords without handles

We are only grains of sand

With wrinkles on our faces

Children grew up

Flew from the nest, you're out of order

Stereotypes of living

Friends are fools around

Your expectations

Fell from the boarder

Next application

A few feet underground
