american dream - live - casting crowns
all work no play may have made jack a dull boy
but all work no god has left
jack with a lost soul
but he's moving on full steam
he's chasing the american dream
and he's gonna give his family the finer things
not this time son i've no time to waste
maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play
and then he slips into his new bmw
and drives farther
and farther and farther away
so he works all day
and tries to sleep at night
he says things will get better
better in time
and he works and he builds
with his own two hands
and he pours all he has
in a castle made with sand
but the wind and the rain
are comin crashing in
time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
his kingdom stands
his american dream is beginning to seem
more and more like a nightmare
with every passing day
dadd can you come to my game
oh baby please don't work late
another wasted weekend
and they are slipping away
cause he works all day and lies awake at night
he tells them things will get better
it'll just take a little more time
and he works and he builds
with his own two hands
and he pours all he has
in a castle made with sand
but the wind and the rain
are comin crashing in
time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
his kingdom stands
he used to say
whoever dies with the most toys wins
but if he loses his soul
what has he gained in the end
i'll take a shack on the rock
over a castle in the sand
now he works all day and cries alone at night
it's not getting any better
looks like he's running out of time
cause he worked and he built
with his own two hands
and he poured all he had
in a castle made with sand
but the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
his kingdom stands
all they really wanted was you
all they really wanted was you
all they really wanted was you
all work no play may have made jack a dull boy
