As a little kid, I'd build sandcastles by the beach
And just before I'd leave, I'd believe a naïve dream
That the next person to see them would like them just as much as me
But that was just naïve 'cause what I wouldn't see
Is that the tide would come in, and the sea and the wind
Would break them down to bits, and the next day, I'd have forgotten about it
As another kid built on an empty plot on the same spot
Probably believing the same dream

We're just ants, building sandcastles
Hoping someone will notice them and not break them down

We're just ants, building sandcastles
Hoping that someone will notice and not break them down

But we want to evade mortality
We want to have a legacy
Something that we can live through
So we don't have to face the truth

We want to leave a mark on the world
So that we will be remembered
We want to mean something when we're gone
We want to mean something to someone

We don't want to go away
We need a legacy
We don't want to fade away
We need a legacy
We need a legacy

We're just ants, building sandcastles
Hoping someone will notice them and not break them down

Think: What did you do yesterday
Were you wasting the entire day away
Making posts with your smartphone
That no one will view after the next hour or so

So next time before you get sucked in
Think if you can be more productive
How are you doing on your eighty-year plan
Are you doing the most that you possibly can

We don't want to go away
We need a legacy
We don't want to fade away
We need a legacy
We need a legacy

We're just ants, building sandcastles
Hoping that someone will notice and not break them down

We're just ants doing tasks in a disorganized fashion
Tugging food and shiny pebbles back to our nest
All thinking of ourselves as special snowflakes
Not remembering that mindset is shared by the rest

As a little kid, I'd build sandcastles by the beach
And I'd leave them standing there for the next person to see
'Cause I'd believe that other people would like them just as much as me
But that was just naïve 'cause what I wouldn't see
Is that the tide would come in, and the sea and the wind
Would erode and break it down

Have you ever seen a sandcastle from a previous day
If not, then what makes you think that yours will stay
And even if someone sees it, anyone but your parents will
View it as just another grain of sand in the anthill

We're just ants, building sandcastles
Hoping someone will admire them before they're broken down

We are just ants who play
A sculpture-building game
And hope that time and waves
Don't wash everything away

But in eight billion years
When Earth's orbit is clear
Will your sandcastle that once stood here
Still be a cause for cheer

Will your highscores in games
And every post you've made
Still matter in decades
And even once you're in a grave

We're just ants, building sandcastles
Hoping someone will notice them and not break them down

We're just ants, building sandcastles
Hoping someone will admire them before they're broken down

And washed away, and washed away
And washed away, and washed away
And washed away, and washed away
And washed away, and washed away
