American Dream Lyrics - Casting Crowns - Casting Crowns

All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy 

But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul 

But he's moving on full steam 

He's chasing the American dream 

And he's gonna give his family the finer things 

Not this time son I've no time to waste 

Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play 

And then he slips into his new BMW 

And drives farther and farther and farther away 

'Cause He works all day and tries to sleep at night 

He says things will get better; 

Better in time

So he works and he builds with his own two hands 

And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand 

But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in 

Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands 

His kingdom stands 

His American Dream is beginning to seem 

More and more like a nightmare 

With every passing day 

"Daddy, can you come to my game?" 

"Oh Baby, please don't work late." 

Another wasted weekend 

And they are slipping away 

'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night 

he tells them things will get better 

It'll just take a little more time

'Cause he works and he builds with his own two hands 

And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand 

But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in 

Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands 

His kingdom stands 

He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins" 

But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end 

I'll take a shack on a rock 

Over a castle in the sand 

Now he works all day and cries alone at night 

It's not getting any better 

Looks like he's running out of time 

'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands 

And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand 

But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in 

Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands 

His kingdom stands 

All they really wanted was you 

All they really wanted was you 

All they really wanted was you
