[Pre-Chorus: Kayo]

All these grains of sand

Keep slipping through our hands

'Cause time waits for no man

We're all just grains of sand

[Chorus: Kayo]

We're all sands

We're all sands

We're all sands

We're all sands

[Verse 1: Abstract]

Humans quest to be infinite, used to write it on walls

Used to write it with charcoal and paint the legends for all

Tell our stories through symbols, chisel it deep in the rock

Been doing it since we were barely able to talk

Clothe our heroes in gold who left our enemies slain

Made legends larger than life so we'd remember the names

Paint the battles of old with a quill on a page

Just to tell the hero's story in whatever the age

Monuments constructed by thousands all for a king

Statues made to honor the scholars for how they think

Churches been erected as a testament to faith

Paint been laid to canvas to commemorate who overcame

We all tryna leave something that's bigger than us

Something so big nobody can touch

Something so real they commemorate us

Something that lives on after life leaves us, 'cause

[Pre-Chorus: Kayo]

All these grains of sand

Keep slipping through our hands

'Cause time waits for no man

We're all just grains of sand

[Chorus: Kayo]

We're all sands

We're all sands

We're all sands

We're all sands

[Verse 2: Abstract]

Mortality a scary thing to think about

Look to science, look to God with reliance 'til the lights go out

Not sure how it started, how could we know how it ends?

Are there levels to reality, and if so, does it bend?

Are there ways to see the next from which our current one suspends?

Or are we just as finite as the ink in my pen?

Live our lives 'til it's drained, hope our stories live again

Commemorate our loved ones, leave our legacy to friends

Might be that uncertainty that makes us want to live

The most human act of questioning the fact we question it

The fact we get to observe that we observe is a trip

A mirror in a mirror wondering what a mirror is

Time provides an urgency to all that does exist

Best we use it wisely 'cause the promised might be myth

And what we leave behind might be draped in immortality

Centuries from now living here within an MP3

[Pre-Chorus: Kayo]

All these grains of sand

Keep slipping through our hands

'Cause time waits for no man

We're all just grains of sand

[Chorus: Kayo]

We're all sands

We're all sands

We're all sands

We're all sands
