Come and join with me,
Let race along the sands,
Where the receding waters,
Wash away footprints of man.

Hold my hand in friendship,
Lets have a sweet sisterly day,
Soak up the sun as we have fun,
Laughing as we jubilantly play.

I see the water seeping into,
Our footprints left behind,
Slowly pulling them out to sea,
As waves wash the shoreline.

Run, run, as fast as you can,
Out race the waves to the shore,
We will leave our marks in the sand,
The waters wash them out once more.

Our laughter rises to the skies,
We are as free as the birds we see,
Hurry lets see if we can catch one,
As we near, in haste they flee.

The joy inside out hearts swell,
Such happiness is rare to find,
Yet when we meet upon the sands,
Our hearts in friendship bind.

Look for a new day to enjoy,
Seek a friend, beneath the sun,
Race along the shores of life,
Precious memories steeped in fun.
