Made of Sand

We are the wild, we are the untamed

We move in circles, we collect names

We are the broken, we are the burning

We are the empty, we are still learning

To put one foot in front of the other

To look farther than the tip of our noses

To aim higher than where our eyes meet

Everybody out there is competition

In breaking tradition

We have to run if we want to get first

We are the simple, we are the curious

We are the seeking, but not serious

We are the restless, we feel so alone

We want to be people, but not on our own

Taking one step, then take another

We still mistrust our brothers

In every handshake there is a war

So everybody starts smoking

But then everybody starts choking

Everybody is fallen on the floor

We are still growing, we are naïve

We are uncharted, just learned to breathe

We are the soldiers, we are so afraid

We don't know what lies beyond the grave

And all the people huddle in fear

And try to find something worth living for

They find it anywhere, they find it in anything

We find the truth in the sewers

We find the truth in our brewers

We find the truth never holds up to our views

We are the youth, we are the face

Of every person, of every place

We try to move the mountains

We tear down all our castles

But they were only made of sand
We are only made of sand
