Rocks Into Sand Lyrics - Bill Kirchen

Long before fish every walked on land, 

Time was turning rocks into sand. 

Rocks into stone, stone into sand, 

Sand that slips through the hands of a man 

So I built my castle close by the shore 

And I slept on the sands of the ocean's roar. 

Then I came to understand 

That my house was built on shifting sand. 

So we went to the hill and built us a town 

With beautiful views for miles around. 

When the mountain shook and tumbled down 

We knew we built on shaky ground. 

Before fish every walked on land, 

Time was turning rocks into sand. 

Rocks into stone 

Stone into sand 

Sand that slips through the hands of a man 

Now the sands will shift and the earth's gonna roll. 

The rocks and the rain will collect their toll. 

And all I'll take is what I brought 

And I may not get what I sought. 

Whether I sink or I fall 

That's up to the shifting sands after all 

Before fish every walked on land, 

Time was turning rocks into sand.
