“Let’s Tell Stories” Lyrics
Verse 1
Let me tell you a story from my childhood
My cousin and me growing up on the beach
Always making castles in the sand, we would
Build so high we couldn’t even reach!
Tossing a shell to the top one day
My cousin came down without a shovel
Told me he had to move away
A wave washed a castle down to rubble
Pre-Chorus 1
Has anything like that happened to you?
Your turn now, share something new!
Learning more about each other, friend
Your words are important, so I will listen…
Chorus 1
Sharing tales, dreams expand
Castles built of the sand
Memory by memory
Lessons, glories
Don’t be shy—speak your truth
How will I learn from you?
Memory by memory
Let’s tell stories
Verse 2
Counting down days on the calendar
Until the castle competition
We stood the best chance on the beach, for sure
At the airport I waited for my cousin!
Catching up, he told me about his flight
He’d worked a summer job for this adventure
Making it count, I threw a seashell high
A photo of our castle made the paper!
Pre-Chorus 2
(Same)
Chorus 2
(Same)
Bridge
Waves may roll, castles fade
Remnants of good old days
Never too late, tides will change
Reconnect, build again
Verse 3
In architecture class, tracing the castle
From our old newspaper photo
Missing my cousin, I called him asking
Help to find the shell we had chosen
Then summer together, towers on the shore
Made of laughter and tears
Told my cousin I couldn’t ask for more
He topped it with the shell I hadn’t seen in years!
Pre-Chorus 3
(Same)
Chorus 3
(Same)
