When we were young we’d take our sons
To walk along the beach
Sometimes I’d hear them hum a tune over the crashing waves
Although we’d try to keep them close
They’d go running far away
Until they were just specks off in the distance, laughing and playing
On that beach on the ocean
That I’m hoping to find
Where the green waves roll to the shore
As we walk the tide line
Looking for the sea’s treasures
Something to hold in our hand
Some reminder of this place we’ve shared
Where our feet touched the sand
Sometimes we’d build a castle
Create an empire of sand
Only to watch the tide come in and wash it all away
Though the boys are young men now, the beach still calls our name
We look for coloured glass and agates glinting in the sun
On that beach on the ocean …….
I don’t know if there’s a heaven or some place that people go
When our time here on this earth passes like our footprints in the sand
But when we go a part of us will still be out there on that shore
And when the wind is right, you’ll hear us singing
