With my hands

I will build you

castles in the sand

A promise of a land

that it will keep you

from the weight of the world



They all ran away

on our horses

leaving nothing to be found

they dug our dreams up from the ground

and took our forces

from the weight of the world

from the weight of the world



Was life too heavy

will you be free

you may never get older

it no longer hangs over

so let go of

the weight of the world

the weight of the world



Can I please have one more dance with you

goodbye all I've loved and held and knew



With my hands

I will build you

castles in the sand

and a promise of a land

that it will keep you

from the weight of the world



from the weight of the world

from the weight of the world

so far away

from the weight of the world

so far away
