| Just like a fool on sinkin' sand
|
| I didn’t know what was goin' down
|
| I let my pride and vanity
|
| Turn me away from reality
|
| All of my strength and security
|
| Were built upon the walls of society
|
| But all I had were sandcastles
|
| Next to the ragin' sea, don’t you see?
|
| They came a-tumblin' down
|
| (They came a-tumblin' down)
|
| Just like the walls of Jericho
|
| They came a-tumblin' down
|
| (They came a-tumblin' down)
|
| Just like the walls of Jericho
|
| They came a-tumblin' down
|
| Then in the ruins of my broken life
|
| I saw the gleam of a distant light
|
| I felt the warmth of a gentle touch
|
| I felt the strength as it picked me up
|
| Love was in His eyes as He said to me
|
| «Don't put your faith in physical things
|
| Nothin' of this world is forever
|
| You’ve got to see, don’t you see?» |
