Lyrics The Line - Leon III

The Line

Once as a boy, he drew a line in the sand
And defiantly told everyone
Here I’ll take my stand
And he dared his brother to cross
And he dared his sister to cross
And he dared his mother to cross
And he dared his father to cross it
And he watched with envy as they all threw Frisbee and swam
And his stomach grumbled hungry
Even though it was only 11 in the am
And he tried to build up castle walls and roads
On his side of the line
As the afternoon sun pushed down
His lonely eyes grew heavy and tired
And he dreamed, there was no weight to the world
And he dreamed, there was no weight to the world
And he dreamed, there was no weight to the world
And he dreamed, there was no weight to the world
Suddenly he was awakened by something cool on his skin
And his eyes opened wide to find the tide rushing in
And the surging waters from the ocean confirmed his every fear
For when the wave receded, the line had disappeared
For when the wave receded, the line had disappeared
