Turtle's Sandcastle Blues

Little turtle in the golden sand Building dreams with his tiny hands A tower here A moat so deep His castle stood like a royal keep Oh no Oh no The wind did blow Took his castle Where did it go Oh no Oh no Swept it away Little turtle’s sandcastle blues today He stared at the waves They seemed to laugh The tide crept closer A sneaky draft But turtle smiled He grabbed his pail He’d build it again He would not fail One grain at a time Pat it down Make it shine Oh no Oh no The wind did blow Took his castle Where did it go Oh no Oh no Swept it away Little turtle’s sandcastle blues today The sun looked down with a golden grin The waves cheered on as he dug back in The wind might roar The tide might play But turtle’s spirit won’t blow away
