Lyrics
Look at the kids on the sandy shore
Observing children on the beach
Watching the tide come in
Witnessing the arrival of the tide
I used to do the same sweet things
Reflecting on past innocent activities
What pleasures did it bring
Questioning the satisfaction derived from those activities
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
Engaging in the childhood ritual of picking up pebbles
Watching the white surf carry them all back to me
Experiencing the sea carrying pebbles back
But now it's all over I've grown up it don't seem the same
Expressing a sense of loss and change with maturity
The things in my childhood were just all a game
Contemplating the shift from childhood play to adult reality
To sit in my bed and watch the stars
Finding solace in observing stars from bed
High up in the sky
Noting stars in the sky as a source of wonder
To say my prayers I'm off to sleep
Mentioning bedtime prayers and preparing for sleep
And then to wave them goodbye
Bidding farewell to the day with a wave
Wouldn't it be nice if life could be turned back in years?
Expressing a desire to rewind time for a better life
Just to relieve the good times and all of the tears
Reflecting on both joyful and sorrowful memories
Oh God it brings joy to see them looking so gay
Finding joy in witnessing carefree children
How I wish I could go back to my childhood days
Expressing a strong yearning to revisit childhood
Look at the kids on the sandy shore
Repeating the observation of children on the beach
Watching the tide come in
Reiterating the image of the incoming tide
I used to do the same sweet things
Recalling past innocent activities again
What pleasures it did bring
Reflecting on the pleasures derived from those activities
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
Repeating the childhood ritual of throwing pebbles into the sea
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
Emphasizing the repetition of the pebble-throwing ritual
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
Further emphasizing the repetitive nature of the activity
Picking up pebbles and throwing them into the sea
Reiterating the nostalgic act of throwing pebbles into the sea
