Lyrics
Kicking The Sand
Stephen Palmer, Dennis Feldman and Joan Palmer: Lyrics
Stephen Palmer: Music
Chorus / Opening
I remember childhood dreams
And the way life used to be
Kicking the sand on the beach
And what it means to me
Verse 1
I reach out
Across the land
Reaching out but I still don?t understand
What I?m looking for
I may never find
The open door unlocked the hands of time
---------------------------------------------------
Take me out
I am blind
Rescue me from the darkness in my mind
Kicking the sand
We can?t appreciate
Verse 2
Wrap me up in tenderness
And take me as I am
Spent twelve days in a hospital
Nobody gives a dam
I grow old
Not getting any easier
Falling back into the water trying to save me
But my hands are tied
----------------------------------------------------
Take me in
I?m on my knees
Suffocating I can?t breath
Desperate in my hour of need
Kicking the sand
We can?t appreciate
Opening Chorus 1x
Outro
I remember, Take me in
