[00:00:00] American Dream - Casting Crowns

[00:00:00] Written by：Casting Crowns/Mark Hall

[00:00:02] All work no play may have made jack a dull boy

[00:00:07] But all work no god has left jack with a lost soul

[00:00:12] But he's moving on full steam

[00:00:14] He's chasing the american dream

[00:00:17] And he's gonna give his family the finer things

[00:00:33] Not this time son I've no time to waste

[00:00:40] Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play

[00:00:44] And then he slips into his new bmw

[00:00:49] And drives farther and farther and farther away

[00:00:55] So he works all day and tries to sleep at night

[00:01:03] He says things will get better

[00:01:06] Better in time

[00:01:08] 'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands

[00:01:14] And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand

[00:01:19] But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in

[00:01:24] Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands

[00:01:33] His kingdom stands

[00:01:41] His american dream is beginning to seem

[00:01:46] More and more like a nightmare

[00:01:49] With every passing day

[00:01:52] Daddy can you come to my game

[00:01:54] Oh baby please don't work late

[00:01:57] Another wasted weekend

[00:01:59] And they are slipping away

[00:02:02] 'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night

[00:02:10] He tells them things will get better

[00:02:13] Just take a little more time

[00:02:16] 'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands

[00:02:21] And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand

[00:02:26] But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in

[00:02:32] Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands

[00:02:41] His kingdom stands

[00:02:47] He used to say who ever dies with the most toys wins

[00:02:54] But if he loses his soul what has he gained in the end

[00:02:59] I'll take a shack on a rock

[00:03:02] Over a castle in the sand

[00:03:05] Now he works all day and cries alone at night

[00:03:12] It's not getting any better

[00:03:15] Looks like he's running out of time

[00:03:18] 'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands

[00:03:23] And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand

[00:03:28] But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in

[00:03:34] Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands

[00:03:43] His kingdom stands

[00:03:50] All they really wanted was you

[00:03:53] All they really wanted was you

[00:03:56] All they really wanted was you
