Castles in the sand





All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
But all work no God left Jack 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 got 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

So 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 into a castle made of sand
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

This 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'll get better
It'll just take a little more time
So he works and he builds with his own two hands
And he pours all he has into a castle made of sand
But the wind and the rain are coming 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 the rocks
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 into a castle made of sand
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands

All they really wanted was you
All they really wanted was you
All they really wanted was you


Thanks Zek for the video.


I think this applies to all of us, not just those with jobs. We're all so caught up in trying to beat the person next to us in EOYs, or getting a better handphone / mp3 / rifle / bicycle / set of clothes etc. than the other person, that we end up "killing" others and ourselves, just for something that won't last. Trust in God and things that WILL last. True, some of our wants might seem important for us at times, but stop once in a while to think of others. Is there someone you stepped on in your effort to do better? How about someone you've been ignoring for a while cause you were too busy with 'important' things?

Think about it.

Prinsep Lighthouse (PLH) is the youth ministry of Prinsep Street Presbyterian Church. It’s meant for all youths aged 13-18 years old to come together every Sunday for a fellowship as well as to worship God and learn more about Him.PLH is on every Sunday from 11am to 12.45pm. On usual Sundays, we have worship time from 11-11.30am. During worship, we sing songs of praise to God.

After which the youths will break up into their respective groups to do a Bible Study for the rest of the time there. These Bible Studies are led by Mentors, who are really nice and fun people and are very knowledgeable and helpful as well. While doing Bible Studies, we share about our life too! Our joy, our pride, our problems, our challenges..and through this, we make loads of great friends!!
