We carry sand in our shoes

We carry sand in our shoes –
Pieces of reality.
The roads we walk get us far into the hearts.
And the eyes get blind.

We carry sand in our shoes
To feel the touch of life as we dream
Cause in dreams we get lost
And darkness is mistaken by light.

We carry sand in our shoes
As time quickly goes by…
Love is a heartbeat that dies
And sand is all we’ve got left.

We carry sand in our shoes
And for each grain,
We make wishes and hope…
Maybe the sand will make us feel again –
That we have grounds under the feet.
