(I saw the world)
(You saw the world)
(Smiled 'cause we knew)
(Million lights in a grain of sand)
(But perfume of sandy shore)
(Faded away too soon)

Back then I saw the world in a grain of sand,
Shangri-la and a veiled summer moon,
(held)in a grain of sand
(yeah, but it left too soon)

We were always together
(in sweet memory)
By the sand the sea and the blue blue sky
Wet feet danced in childish liberty

Remember the day?
(When we found the world in a grain of sand?)
Sweet memory in a grain of sand
(We ran home, with it clasped tight in my hand)

Our faces were so bright with smiles
"Mum! Mum look what we found!
We found the world, the beeeeeautiful world
(held) deep under ground!"

We sang in wobbly chorus
(of the sweet, proud world we'd found)
Singing by the blue blue sea,
Singin for that grain of sand, guarded by the ground

We spent every day by the blue blue sea,
(under a freshly painted summer sky)
Staring at that grain of sand,
(as days faded by)

Lying in the sea,
Our hearts swelled with that magic,
(yeah, there was magic in those days)
Felt like everything was set free

Remember the day?
When we lost it (lost perfect harmony)
We lost a million childish things in that grain of sand,
(Cried so hard)...'cause we lost such a sweet memory ...
