My brothers, my sisters, I could see us playing there
Smaller faces, smaller hands, smaller worries, playing in the sand
Elaborate castles and bridges and roads--they'd disappear
At the end of the day, but we'd build them anyways

All our lives we've been building in the sand
All our lives, and we didn't understand
All our lives we've been building in the sand
All our lives we've been building in the sand

After that summer we moved away
At the new house there was no sandbox to play in
And as one by one we graduated and moved out
I could swear it felt just like the sand was in my hands

All our lives we've been building in the sand
All our lives, and we didn't understand
All our lives we've been building in the sand
All our lives we've been building in the sand

Some of married, had kids, and their own box of sand
We got jobs and houses and cars and hobbies
And phones that never rang as much as our memories
And we let the years slip through our hands like sand

All our lives we've been building in the sand
All our lives, and we didn't understand
All our lives we've been building in the sand
All our lives we've been building in the sand

In the morning mirror, all some of us see is gray
But some of us see nothing anymore
After the last of us is gone, what will they say of us
That we spent our lives building in the sand

All our lives we've been building in the sand
All our lives, and we didn't understand
All our lives we've been building in the sand
All our lives we've been building in the sand
