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

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

[00:00:04] All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy

[00:00:09] But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul

[00:00:14] But he's moving on full steam

[00:00:17] He's chasing the American dream

[00:00:19] And he's gonna give his family the finer things

[00:00:36] Not this time son I've no time to waste

[00:00:42] Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play

[00:00:46] And then he slips into his new BMW

[00:00:51] And drives farther and farther and farther away

[00:00:57] So He works all day and tries to sleep at night

[00:01:05] He says things will get better

[00:01:09] Better in time

[00:01:10] So he works and he builds with his own two hands

[00:01:16] And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand

[00:01:21] But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in

[00:01:26] Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands

[00:01:35] His kingdom stands

[00:01:43] His American Dream is beginning to seem

[00:01:49] More and more like a nightmare

[00:01:52] With every passing day

[00:01:54] Daddy can you come to my game

[00:01:56] Oh Baby please don't work late

[00:01:59] Another wasted weekend

[00:02:01] And they are slipping away

[00:02:05] 'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night

[00:02:13] He tells them things will get better

[00:02:15] It'll just take a little more time

[00:02:18] So he works and he builds with his own two hands

[00:02:23] And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand

[00:02:28] But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in

[00:02:34] Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands

[00:02:43] His kingdom stands

[00:02:50] He used to say Whoever dies with the most toys wins

[00:02:56] But if he loses his soul what has he gained in the end

[00:03:01] I'll take a shack on the rock

[00:03:04] Over a castle in the sand

[00:03:07] Now he works all day and cries alone at night

[00:03:15] It's not getting any better

[00:03:17] Looks like he's running out of time

[00:03:20] 'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands

[00:03:25] And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand

[00:03:30] But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in

[00:03:36] Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands

[00:03:45] His kingdom stands

[00:03:52] All they really wanted was You

[00:03:55] All they really wanted was You

[00:03:58] All they really wanted was You
