"American Dreams (Casting Crowns)" Lyrics [edit]
by Various Artists - General Miscellaneous | from the album Dove Hits 2004
 

(Vs. 1)
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 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

(Pre-Chorus 1)
Cause he works all day and tries to sleep at night
He says things will get better;
Better in time!

[Chorus]
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 coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long His kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

(Vs. 2)
Well 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.

(Pre-Chorus 2)
'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
He tells them things are getting better
Just take a little more time

Back To Chorus

[BRIDGE 1:]
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 the rock
Over a castle in the sand

[BRIDGE 2:]
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time

CHORUS

Vamp:
All they really wanted was you (3x)
