My Song

I had an assignment to write a song for my voice class. I cannot figure out the tune yet, but here it is.

Stone or Sand?

Verse 1:

Two men set out to build two homes.

One built on sand, the other on stone.

As they stepped back to admire their work,

A storm began to brew.

The rain started to flow

And the winds began to blow.

Chorus:

Our lives are like a home we build,

Brick by brick.

Stick by stick.

But it doesn’t matter if we’re smart or skilled

In the end it’s where we stand.

Are our lives built on stone or sand?

Verse 2:

Up in the sky, God heard the cry

Of the man with the house on the sand.

As the house fell apart, so broke the man’s heart,

But he still didn’t understand.

You can’t build your life on sand.

Don’t be like that man.

Chorus:

Our lives are like a home we build,

Brick by brick.

Stick by stick.

But it doesn’t matter if we’re smart or skilled

In the end it’s where we stand.

Are our lives built on stone or sand?

Bridge:

Whoever hears these words I say

And follows them every day.

Won’t be like the man with the house on the sand

And come to the same sorry end.

Chorus:

Our lives are like a home we build,

Brick by brick.

Stick by stick.

But it doesn’t matter if we’re smart or skilled

In the end it’s where we stand.

Are our lives built on stone or sand?
