Greensky Bluegrass - Monument lyrics

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!
