It's all alright

By SickSanityJenn

I build my dreams upon the sand
Watch as they sift through my hands
Where my castle was, now nothing stands
But it's all alright

The sun feels hot against my skin
I sweat though my clothes are thin
The water beckons and I give in
But it's all alright

The water rises up over my toes
Wade out as far as I dare to go
Happiness swells inside my soul
And it's all alright

I dry off and lay back on the ground
Watch the sky as the sun goes down
Feeling at peace, safe and sound
It was all alright

Even when your dreams get washed away
Even when the words are too hard to say
Even if you are alone and you are afraid
It's all alright
