the years pass by
like songs in my memory
like steps in sand
I know that I've been there
like days that don't end
I know that we've been there

if they don't show
if they don't know
how could this all be true
when life strikes down on them
as the wind passes by
lifting us in the end

the years pass by
and I know that I've been there
like steps in sand
I know that we'll be there

if they don't show
if they don't know
how could this be a true tragedy
when life strikes down on them
and everyone's time is at hand

as the wind passes by again
don't let it fade away
don't let it blow away
wind carries the sand
that lifts us up in the end
