Sand Castles
by The Timbre of Cedar

Album: Restoring The Light

I pledge allegiance to my hands
Raising castles from the sand
Build it up, fight the tide
Just to watch it fall

So I try and try again
Just to show myself I can
But the waves aren't phased
By my resolve

The foundations caving in
These walls are wearing thin
And I can't stand to watch it fall apart

In the fight of sea and shore
It seems that I have lost the war
And a sigh of hallelujah leaves my lungs

As I thank God
That I'm not

So I'm back where I began
An even shore and empty hands
When will I take a hint
From my failed attempts

I see that I'm the foolish man
Forgot the rock and chose the sand
I realize that my pride
Was my last defense

And I can hear the siren song
Calling me to sing along
But then I hear your voice inside the wind

In the fight of sea and shore
I'm finally laying down my sword
And a sigh of hallelujah leaves my lungs

As I thank God
That I'm not
