Look at all that's grown from the seeds that we planted
I think it's safe to say, won't take a single one for granted
It could all be gone in the blink of an eye
Can't stop the wheel, no matter how hard we try
You can build a castle
But it crumbles to a cave
Funny how a monument
Looks just like a grave
Don't know what you're holding when it's right there in your hands
No matter where you're going, where you've been
You might wind up where you began
Too busy makin' plans, didn't even see it happen
Felt safe on solid ground, but that's just not where we were standin'
Thought I was flying, I was fallin' to the ground
And when I hit, it didn't even make a sound
You can build a castle
But it crumbles to a cave
Funny how a monument
Looks just like a grave
Don't know what you're holding when it's right there in your hands
No matter where you're going, where you've been
You might wind up where you began
Look at all that's grown in fallow fields forgotten
And look at we've learned from lessons never wanted
So answer when the man behind the curtain calls
Open up your door and cut some windows in your walls!
