Greensky Bluegrass - Monument lyrics

Look at all that's grown from
The seeds that we planted
I think it's safe to say
Won't take a single one for granted
It could all be gone in the blink of an eye
Can't stop the wheel
No matter how hard we try

You can build a castle
But it crumbles to a cave
Funny how a monument looks just like a grave
Don't know what you're holding when it's
Right there in your hands
No matter where you're going
Where you've been
You might wind up where you began

Too busy makin' plans
Didn't even see it happen
Felt safe on solid ground
But that's just not wherе we were standin'
Thought I was flying
I was fallin' to thе ground
And when I hit, it didn't even make a sound

You can build a castle
But it crumbles to a cave
Funny how a monument looks just like a grave
Don't know what you're holding when it's
Right there in your hands
No matter where you're going
Where you've been
You might wind up where you began

Look at all that's grown
In fallow fields forgotten
And look at we've learned
From lessons never wanted
So answer when the man
Behind the curtain calls
Open up your door and cut
Some windows in your walls
