Steps In Sand Lyrics

the years pass by like songs in my memory
like steps in sand
i know that i've been
there like days that don't end
i know that we've been there
if they don't show
if they don't know
how could this all be true
when life strikes down on them
as the wind passes by
lifting us in the end
the years pass
i know that i've been there
like steps in sand
i know taht we'll be there
if they don't show
if they don't know
how could this be
a true tragedy
when life strikes down on them
and everyone's time is at hand
as the wind passes by again
don't let it fade away
don't let it blow away
wind carries the sand
that lifts us up in the end

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
