Crooked Cornerstone

Lyrics

Time's just grains of sand Blown out of sight by winds of change Nothing done by a man alone Is destined to remain Our own desires deceive us And pervert the best laid plans In wickedness and desperation Beats the heart of man Boats without an anchor Ships without a sail Blown 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 you build with a crooked cornerstone How you gonna make it stand? If a ship goes down in heavy seas How you gonna get to land? What you gonna do when the river rises And your house is on the sand? If you build with a crooked cornerstone How you gonna make it stand? Sit and watch the river When the flood is risin' high The wreckage of the race upstream The flotsam of the lie Houses from the riverside Shanties on the pier All the ones who told themselves "It'll never happen here" If you build with a crooked cornerstone How you gonna make it stand? If a ship goes down in heavy seas How you gonna get to land? What you gonna do when the river rises And your house is on the sand? If you build with a crooked cornerstone How you gonna make it stand? If you build with a crooked cornerstone How you gonna make it stand? If a ship goes down in heavy seas How you gonna get to land? What you gonna do when the river rises And your house is on the sand? If you build with a crooked cornerstone How you gonna make it stand? How you gonna make it stand? How you gonna make it stand? How you gonna make it stand?
