Rocks Into Sand

Long before fish every walked on land,

Time was turning rocks into sand.

Rocks into stone, stone into sand,

Sand that slips through the hands of a man

So I built my castle close by the shore

And I slept on the sands of the ocean's roar.

Then I came to understand

That my house was built on shifting sand.

So we went to the hill and built us a town

With beautiful views for miles around.

When the mountain shook and tumbled down

We knew we built on shaky ground.

Before fish every walked on land,

Time was turning rocks into sand.

Rocks into stone

Stone into sand

Sand that slips through the hands of a man

Now the sands will shift and the earth's gonna roll.

The rocks and the rain will collect their toll.

And all I'll take is what I brought

And I may not get what I sought.

Whether I sink or I fall

That's up to the shifting sands after all

Before fish every walked on land,

Time was turning rocks into sand.
