Lyrics
Pieces of Sand - Jesse Daily & Mitch Cooper
From east to west, our love did span
Built a community, hand in hand
An amazing son, our world complete
In our home, where love did meet
Trust crumbled like a house of cards
As sins whispered lies, tearing us apart
Our passion once ablaze, now just a ghost
And our love story faded, beyond all hope
Risk-takers, dream-makers, we dared to try
But envy and greed, they reached the sky
But the divide between us, what did it do?
Trust crumbled like a house of cards
As sins whispered lies, tearing us apart
Our passion once ablaze, now just a ghost
And our love story faded, beyond all hope
Friends became foes, in the depths of night
Family torn apart, by our endless fight
Lost in the quicksand, of our own desire
Haunted by ghosts of a love now dire
Lies and deceit, they tore us down
Our once-strong home, now wears a frown
Our son caught in the storm, of our despair
As we danced with the devil, in a reckless affair
Trust crumbled like a house of cards
As sins whispered lies, tearing us apart
Our passion once ablaze, now just a ghost
And our love story faded, beyond all hope
