Lyrics
[Intro]
[instrumental]
[Verse 1 - happy]
Spade in hand, I stepped onto the beach,
Found a spot where the tide couldn’t reach.
Dug deep with steady strokes, a rhythm to keep,
Each shovelful of sand piled up in a heap.
[Chorus - Happy]
A man came up and asked, 'May I join?'
I smiled and said, 'Sure, grab a shovel, we're not done!'
Digging deeper, moving sand aside,
The hole grew wider with each stride.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2 - Happy]
Grains slipped away as their hands worked together,
Scooping and tossing under the bright weather.
Deeper into the earth, carving their mark,
The walls of sand rising stark.
[Chorus]
Another came and asked, 'May I join?'
We smiled and said, 'Sure, grab a shovel, we're not done!'
With every spade, the sun cast a glow,
A tunnel forming in the sandy flow.
[Instrumental]
[Bridge - Happy]
With every scoop, the piles grew tall,
A fortress rising as the shovels fall.
Sand piled up as their rhythm set,
Each scoop a promise, each dig a bet.
[Chorus]
Another came and asked, 'May I join?'
We smiled and said, 'Sure, grab a shovel,
Together digging, inch by inch,
The walls around them wouldn’t flinch.
[Instrumental]
[Outro - Overjoyed]
As the sun dipped low and the waves rolled high,
We stood in the crater where the sand ran dry.
Looking around, their hands blistered and sore,
We smiled, knowing they'd dig once more.
[Chorus - Even happier]
Another came and asked, 'May I join?'
We all laughed and said, 'Sure, grab a shovel, we're not done!'
With hands in rhythm, and voices high,
We dug our own little piece of the sky.
[Instrumental fade out]
