“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)
