A Hand from Above

Like castles of sand

Whispers in the wind
We rise only to fall
Struggle to listen

Storm clouds gathering

Amidst voices of despair
Hearts rising in conflict
Smoke billows in the air

Castles washed away

Whispers are silenced
Yet life continues on
In shadows of violence

Like grains of sand

Carried out to sea
Settled to the depths
For all of eternity

United we will stand

Truth bonded by love
Molded grains of sand
With a hand from above
