Stars And Sand

Verse 1:

They say the stars outnumber the grains upon the shore,

But I’ve run my hands through the sand and still crave more.

Countless lights are burning, scattered through the night,

While every grain beneath me holds a piece of time.

Pre-Chorus:

Infinity above me, eternity below,

Which one holds the answers? I may never know.

Chorus:

Are we stars or are we sand?

Floating weightless, or held in hand?

Drifting endless through the sky,

Or washed away when the tides rise?

If everything we are can never last,

Are we stars or are we sand?

Verse 2:

The stars, they shine so distant, but some have burned away,

Still, their light keeps reaching us from galaxies away.

The sand, it holds the footprints of those who walked before,

Washed away but never lost, just part of something more.

Pre-Chorus:

Infinity above me, eternity below,

Which one tells our story? I may never know.

Chorus:

Are we stars or are we sand?

Floating weightless, or held in hand?

Drifting endless through the sky,

Or washed away when the tides rise?

If everything we are can never last,

Are we stars or are we sand?

Bridge:

Maybe we are both, maybe we are neither,

Maybe we’re just echoes carried on the ether.

Burning bright, then falling down,

Crashing waves, then sinking ground.

Outro:

Are we stars or are we sand?

Or something far too small to understand?
