lyrics

This Is Our Life
Written by N. C. Hunter Hayden and William Hayden

We were kissed by the ocean wind, as we sat in eternity
The wisdom of the breaking waves told us of timelessness
I took ten thousand years all at once, in one hand
I let each day slip away as they fell back in the sand

All that remained were the smallest grains, in the lines of my hand
I saw my life as I counted the days, then I buried my hand back in the sand

This is our life, the smallest grains of sand
This is our life, hands buried in the sand

We walked along the edge where the ocean meets the land
The waves danced on our feet and buried them in the sand
Looking up at the other shore, diamonds shining in the deep
Stones scattered across the sky, just like the ones beneath our feet

This is our life, the smallest stars that shine
This is our life, heaven in our eyes
This is our life, the smallest stars that shine
This is our life, heaven in our eyes

This is our life, the smallest grains of sand
This is our life, feet buried in the sand
This is our life, the smallest grains of sand
This is our life, we’re in the master’s hand
This is our life
