Against the door he leans and starts a scene But his tears fall and burn the garden green And so castles made of sand Fall in the sea eventually An Indian brave, who before he was ten Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends And he built a dream that when he grew up He would be a fearless warrior Indian chief Many moons passed and the dream grew strong until tomorrow He would sing his first war song And fight his first battle but something went wrong Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night And some castles made of sand Fall in the sea eventually Take it Johnny There was a young girl whose heart was a frown Because she was crippled for life and couldn't speak a sound And she wished and prayed she could stop living So she decided to die She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore And to her legs she smiled "You won't hurt me no more" But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say "Look a golden winged ship is passing my way" But it really didn't have to stop It just kept on going And some castles made of sand Slips into the sea eventually
