Time Like Waves

The years go by like waves on the beach
The water takes everything away
The sand is space
The water is time
And we are where of these two meet
The sand is space
The water is time
And we are where these two meet

Build your castles
Write your name
But the water takes takes away
Leave your footprints
It's all the same
The water takes takes away
Dig your trenches
Hide your claim
But the water takes takes away
Build your castles
Write your name
But the water takes takes away

One day is as a thousand years to You
A thousand years is as one day
The older I get
The faster they go
And time in time will take me too
The older I get
The faster they go
And this I know to be true

Build your castles
Write your name
But the water takes takes away
Leave your footprints
It's all the same
The water takes takes away
Dig your trenches
Hide your claim
But the water takes takes away
Build your castles
Write your name
But the water takes takes away

Time takes away
Nothing will stay
But the Kingdom of God stands forever
Time takes away
Nothing will stay
But the Kingdom of God will stand

Build your castles
Write your name
But the water takes takes away
Leave your footprints
It's all the same
The water takes takes away
Dig your trenches
Hide your claim
But the water takes takes away
Build your castles
Write your name
But the water takes takes away
