With my hands I will build you Castles in the sand A promise of a land That it will keep you From the weight of the world They all ran away On our horses Leaving nothing to be found They dug our dreams up from the ground And took our forces From the weight of the world From the weight of the world Was life too heavy Will you be free You may never get older It no longer hangs over So let go of The weight of the world The weight of the world Can I please have one more dance with you Goodbye all I've loved and held and knew With my hands I will build you Castles in the sand And a promise of a land That it will keep you From the weight of the world From the weight of the world From the weight of the world So far away From the weight of the world So far away
