I took a mansion on the sand
It turned out just the way I've planned
It's stuff so tall and look so grand on the outside
I put the fences all around, felt so secure until I found, that I had built on shifting ground
Then the rains came
The walls gave away and crumble in the flood
The lightning tore away the thin full sun
And I watched
I watched in desperation
and I cried out in the night
my mansion is gone
Oh, my mansion is gone, no!
Someone approched and said I should
Seek out The Man who works with wood
His work is solid and has stood the test of time
When I recovered from the shock
I looked Him up to have a talk
He said: you gotta build on Rock to make it lasting
Now the foundation is deep and long, the walls ain't pretty, but they're strong
I get the feeling I belong,
Right here forever!
whoowhoooooo
whooayaayyy
woowoowhhoooo
