Turn back the sands of time that now just slip away,
And recall with me those memories that the years have come to fade.
Remember how I held you close, your heart right next to mine,
And the world was never big enough, and everything sublime.
Turn back the sands of time, and walk with me again;
Let not the tide chase away the truth of what was then.
Walk with me again my son and rest your tired head,
On my shoulder or I will carry you along the path ahead!
Turn back the sands of time, and smile with me again;
Lay down your heavy burden, take shelter from the wind.
Laugh with me again my son and stay with me a while,
And I will give you shelter from the storm outside!
Turn back the sands of time, and sing with me again;
Let not your voice be diminished within the roaring wind.
Sing again with me my son, take courage with your song,
And I will stand beside you, and guide you all along.
Turn back the sands of time, and remember who you are,
Be stronger than the fears of those that would leave a lasting scar.
Remember who you are my son, and to thine self be true,
Build your house upon a rock and know that I love you!
