One Piece by Mitchell Cawley

In Shadow

You always said it was best
To leave it alone

They always said, you never know
What you have till it's gone.

My head follows orders,
My hearts only hand,
As the current flows,
Forever moves the sand.

You put me up to pull me down
How can it be?

The channels run together,
Connecting us as they can,
As the current flows,
Forever moves the sand

If you're going to drown me,
Don't take your hands away
Just leave me there
Forever moves the sand.
