[Verse 1]
Used to run barefoot down that old creek line,
Now the stones bite harder, the climb ain't kind.
Sand between my toes, warm and wide,
Now it’s in the hourglass, marking time’s tide.
[Chorus]
Sand in the glass, slipping too fast,
Yesterday’s shadows, they don’t seem to last.
Life’s moving quicker, I’m dragging slow,
Where did the years go? Where did they go?
[Verse 2]
Memory’s a fickle friend, fades like a flame,
Faces and voices don’t hold the same name.
The sun sets faster, the mornings come cold,
I’m chasing my youth, but it won’t be consoled.
[Prechorus]
I hear the wind whisper, soft through the pines,
“Slow down, old friend, it’s the end of the line.”
[Chorus]
Sand in the glass, slipping too fast,
Yesterday’s shadows, they don’t seem to last.
Life’s moving quicker, I’m dragging slow,
Where did the years go? Where did they go?
[Bridge]
I held the sunrise, now I hold the dusk,
Trading my fire for faith and trust.
The river still runs, though I’m standing still,
Time’s a thief, but it bends to God’s will.
