House of Cards

I built for myself a house of cards Hoping that it would fill me But no measure of things could calm my heart All that I felt was empty Rags and rust From dust to dust we go All these things really mean Nothing Nothing at all I measure my time in sand and stone Hoping I choose the latter I know in my heart that sand won't hold Stones are the things that matter Storm and rain Will wash away, what doesn't hold Let all my time be carved inside The stone Let my life be built in you alone My worth is found Let my time be firm in you My rock, my solid ground Let my life be built in you alone My worth is found Let my time be firm in you My rock, my solid ground Rags and rust From dust to dust we go Storm and rain Will wash away, what doesn't hold
