Castles Lyrics by Coby James

Mixtape: Side A - EP

2021

[Verse 1]
I've been trying to build a fortress
Trenches always leave me hopeless
Get so distracted by the nonsense
And it gets harder to be honest, Lord

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm so easily swayed
I need all of Your grace
So I'm gonna do what God says
When I don't wanna do what God says

[Chorus]
Castles in the sand always washing away
Kingdoms to the sky, but the glory all fake
If I got everything, got nothing at all
If I got You then I know I got it all
Could have the world in the palm of our hands
Chasing what we want, but we're chasing the wind
If I got everything, got nothing at all
Castles in the sand are always gonna fall

[Post-Chorus]
Castlеs in the sand
Castles in the, in thе sand
Castles
Castles

[Verse 2]
So many voices to believe in
Full of rhyme without the reason
But You're the One that gives me purpose
Just gotta dig under the surface, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
House of cards will fall
When You not the ground it's built on
So I'm gonna do what God says
I'm gonna do whatever God says (God says)

[Chorus]
Castles in the sand always washing away
Kingdoms to the sky, but the glory all fake
If I got everything, got nothing at all
If I got You then I know I got it all
Could have the world in the palm of our hands
Chasing what we want, but we're chasing the wind
If I got everything, got nothing at all (Nothing at all)
Castles in the sand are always gonna fall

[Post-Chorus]
Castles in the sand
Castles in the, in the sand
Castles
Castles

[Bridge]
Listen
You're the rock (Ooh)
Where I stand (Ooh)
All other ground (Ooh)
Is sinking sand
You're the rock
Where I stand
All other ground
Is sinking sand

[Interlude]
Castles in the sand
Kingdoms to the sky
We could have it all
But be empty inside, oh

[Chorus]
Castles in the sand always washing away
Kingdoms to the sky, but the glory all fake
If I got everything, got nothing at all (Nothing at all)
If I got You then I know I got it all
Could have the world in the palm of our hands (Palm of our hands)
Chasing what we want, but we're chasing the wind (Ooh, ooh)
If I got everything, got nothing at all (Nothing at all)
Castles in the sand are always gonna fall

[Post-Chorus]
Castles in the sand (Yeah, oh)
Castles in the, in the sand (Yeah, oh)
Castles (Oh)
Castles

[Outro]
I just wanna do what God says
