One Grain of Sand

One, one, one grain of sand

One, one, one grain of sand

Just one little grain of sand

Can change your life and ruin your plansUndermine your house of love

Bring it tumbling down

One, one, one grain of sandOnce upon a mountain top, a castle stood

Carved out of rock and stone, iron and wood

Then one day a grain of sand

Grew into an iron latchUndermined the mountain side

And the castle tumbled down

One, one, one grain of sandA lover spoke an angry word that led to tears

The tears led to a quarrel, love disappeared

That word was like a grain of sandThat undermined the things they've planned

It shook up the house of love

And brought it tumbling down

One, one, one grain of sandJust one little grain of sand

Can change your life and ruin your plansUndermine your house of love

Bring it tumbling down

One, one, one grain of sand

One, one, one grain of sand
