Sandcastles
Waves will crash
And crash and crash
To destroy the little piece of pride you form in the sand
And I know it can get tiring
Rebuilding what once stood
But you can't give up on what makes you smile
Even if making it permanent takes a while
Chorus
Keep building sandcastles 'till they stay
Don't let your dreams go astray
Protect what you've created from
What the doubtful currents send
They can only take what you give away
So build your walls thick
Don't fall for the ocean's tricks
Keep building sandcastles, sandcastles
One day it'll be worth all the hassle
The sand is as stable as you make it
There's nothing a little faith can't hold
You can't stop the ocean from hitting what you mold
Just hold tight 'till the next day
And block out what the salty waters say
It takes hardship to get stronger
Use the criticism to get better
An almighty fort is what you're creating
Just go, you're kindom is awaiting
Chorus
Keep building sandcastles 'till they stay
Don't let your dreams go astray
Protect what you've created from
What the doubtful currents send
They can only take what you give away
So build your walls thick
Don't fall for the ocean's tricks
Keep building sandcastles, sandcastles
One day it'll be worth all the hassle
Bridge
Don't let your dreams crumble
Keep building sandcastles
It's okay, everyone stumbles
Keep building sandcastles
Just do you and the rest will come in time
Keep building sandcastles
I know it's dark now but the sun will soon shine
and show to the world what you've made
with tiny grains of sand you formed with your restless hands

This is the third song I wrote. It means a lot to me, for I wrote it in a time when I was going through a hard time and felt like giving up.
