Lee Howard - Shifting Sands
lyrics
Shifting sands

There was a fire today
It was oceans away
I heard their loved ones cry

There was a man with a frown
He blew up a town
Would someone tell me why

The events unfold on my TV
All around the world there is tragedy
Please dont tell me that its meant to be

Our lives move like the shifting sands
Taken like gold from the devils hand
Wasted how can this be right
How can this be right
So many fade into the night

Some friends drove a car
But they went one mile too far
were barely half my age

A man betrayed by a friend
Brought their life to an end
Could not control his rage

The time we spend just running around
Not standing out in any crowd
When suddenly theres no more time to break free

Our lives move like the shifting sands
Taken like gold from the devils hand
Wasted how can this be right
How can this be right

Please dont tell me that its meant to be

Our lives move like the shifting sands
Taken like gold from the devils hand
Wasted how can this be right
So many fade into the night
Fade into the night
How can this be right?
