Playing in the Sand

Verse 1:

I see children playing in the sand,

And it reminds me of before I was a man.

For my happiness was always right at hand

As I searched out life there among the sand.

Chorus:

Oh to find such carefree times again

As life’s dreams were created in the sand.

No problems then for dreams were in command.

Oh to once again find peace among the sand.

Verse 2:

Life is still a game as we walk through this land

And reality no one can comprehend.

I believe that in God’s master plan

We were to live our lives like children in the sand

Chorus:

Oh to find such carefree times again

As life’s dreams were created in the sand.

No problems then for dreams were in command.

Oh to once again find peace among the sand.

Verse 3:

Oh dear God, remind us once again

Of the childlike trust you said that you demand.

Then by faith may we walk hand in hand

Dreaming dreams of hope like children in the sand.

Chorus:

Oh to find such carefree times again

As life’s dreams were created in the sand.

No problems then for dreams were in command.

Oh to once again find peace among the sand.
