Don Francisco - Crooked Cornerstone lyrics

Times just grains of sand Blown out of sight by winds of change Was it done by a man alone? Destined to remain Our own desires decieve us And pervert the best made plans Wickedness and despiration Meets the heart of man Boats without an anchor Ships without a sail Alone by doubt and circumstance Too far gone to bail Why go past the harbor? Why ignore the light? Sailing on an endless sea To vanish in the night If ya build with the crooked cornerstone How're you gonna make it stand? If a ship goes down in heavy seas How're we gonna get to land? What're ya gonna do when the river rises? And your house is on the sand If ya build with the crooked cornerstone How're you gonna make it stand? Sit and watch the river While the flood is risin' high The refuge of the race upstream The flotsam of the light Mansions on the riverside Shanties on the pier All the ones who told themselves It'll never happen here If ya build with the crooked cornerstone How're you gonna make it stand? If a ship goes down in heavy seas How're we gonna get to land? And what're ya gonna do when the river rises? And your house is on the sand If ya build with the crooked cornerstone How're you gonna make it stand? If ya build with the crooked cornerstone How're you gonna make it stand? If a ship goes down in heavy seas How're we gonna get to land? And what're ya gonna do when the river rises? And your house is on the sand If ya build with the crooked cornerstone How're you gonna make it stand? How're you gonna make it stand? How're you gonna make it stand? How're you gonna make it stand?
