Lyrics
Castles
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been trying to build a fortress
Trenches always leave me hopeless
Get so distracted by the nonsense
And it gets harder to be honest, Lord
I'm so easily swayed
I need all of Your grace
So I'm gonna do what God says
When I don't wanna do what God says
Castles in the sand always washing away
Kingdoms to the sky, but the glory all fake
If I got everything, got nothing at all
If I got You then I know I got it all
Could have the world in the palm of our hands
Chasing what we want, but we're chasing the wind
If I got everything, got nothing at all
Castles in the sand are always gonna fall
Castlеs in the sand
Castles in the, in thе sand
Castles
Castles
So many voices to believe in
Full of rhyme without the reason
But You're the One that gives me purpose
Just gotta dig under the surface, yeah
House of cards will fall
When You not the ground it's built on
So I'm gonna do what God says
I'm gonna do whatever God says
Castles in the sand always washing away
Kingdoms to the sky, but the glory all fake
If I got everything, got nothing at all
If I got You then I know I got it all
Could have the world in the palm of our hands
Chasing what we want, but we're chasing the wind
If I got everything, got nothing at all
Castles in the sand are always gonna fall
Castles in the sand
Castles in the, in the sand
Castles
Castles
Listen
You're the rock (Ooh)
Where I stand (Ooh)
All other ground (Ooh)
Is sinking sand
You're the rock
Where I stand
All other ground
Is sinking sand
Castles in the sand
Kingdoms to the sky
We could have it all
But be empty inside, oh
Castles in the sand always washing away
Kingdoms to the sky, but the glory all fake
If I got everything, got nothing at all (Nothing at all)
If I got You then I know I got it all
Could have the world in the palm of our hands (Palm of our hands)
Chasing what we want, but we're chasing the wind (Ooh, ooh)
If I got everything, got nothing at all (Nothing at all)
Castles in the sand are always gonna fall
Castles in the sand (Yeah, oh)
Castles in the, in the sand (Yeah, oh)
Castles (Oh)
Castles
I just wanna do what God says
