Casting Crowns - American Dream Lyrics
All work no play may have made Jack a dull boyBut all work no God has left Jack with a lost soulBut he's moving on full steamHe's chasing the American dreamAnd he's gonna give his family the finer thingsNot this time son I've no time to wasteMaybe tomorrow we'll have time to playAnd then he slips into his new BMWAnd drives farther and farther and farther awaySo He works all day and tries to sleep at nightHe says things will get better;Better in timeAnd he works and he builds with his own two handsAnd he pours all he has in a castle made with sandBut the wind and the rain are comin' crashing inTime will tell just how long his kingdom standsHis kingdom standsHis American Dream is beginning to seemMore and more like a nightmareWith every passing day"Daddy, can you come to my game?""Oh Baby, please don't work late."Another wasted weekendAnd they are slipping away'Cause he works all day and lies awake at nightHe tells them things will get betterIt'll just take a little more timeHe used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the endI'll take a shack on the rockOver a castle in the sandNow he works all day and cries alone at nightIt's not getting any betterLooks like he's running out of time'Cause he worked and he built with his own two handsAnd he poured all he had in a castle made with sandBut the wind and the rain are coming crashing inTime will tell just how long his kingdom standsHis kingdom standsAll they really wanted was YouAll they really wanted was YouAll they really wanted was You-a
