Lyrics | Sand

Playing in the sand, (playing in the sand )
building castles with my friend ( with my friend )
We started throwing sand, ( We started throwing sand )
we thought our fun would never end ( we thought our fun would never
end )
my buddy threw some sand, ( my buddy threw some sand )
the sand landed in my eye ( in my eye )
I rubbed it with my hand, ( rubbed it with my hand )
It hurt so much I had to cry ( I cried )

I learned the hard way, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
Listen to what I say, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
I learned the hard way, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
There are other ways to play, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND

My teacher came to me, I guess she must have heard me cry
She said that she could see, that the sand got in my eye
she cleaned away the sand and walked me back into the school
and while she held my hand she made me understand the rule

You learned the hard way, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
Listen to what I say, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
You learned the hard way, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
There are other ways to play, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND

One day we ate outside from time to time some sand was flung
my mouth was open wide, some sand landed on my tongue
No matter how I tried I couldn’t seem to spit it out
finally I cried and then I began to shout

I learned the hard way, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
Listen to what I say, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
I learned the hard way, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
There are other ways to play, YOU CAN’T THROW SAND
