Paper Kingdoms
Brick by brick and lie by lie
We build our towers to the sky
Gold and silver for our delight
They lead us from Your love
Happiness bottled and sold
Temporary highs then lows
Promises in misplaced hope
But it's never been enough
We've been livin' in paper kingdoms that won't last
Putting faith in the castles we made with our hands
For years and years we built them up
But I'm layin' it all down
I'm tradin' my paper kingdom for a room in my Father's house
One by one I watch 'em fall
Crumbling these fragile walls
I worked so hard to raise them up
But I know they're not enough
We've been livin' in paper kingdoms that won't last
Putting faith in the castles we made with our hands
For years and years we built them up
But I'm layin' it all down
I'm tradin' my paper kingdom for a room in my Father's house
One day I'll walk streets of gold
And hear Your voice say, "Welcome home"
The one my soul has always known
Oh I can see it now
And I'm not taking earthly things
You've got a place prepared for me
With everything that I could need
So I'm layin' it all down
We've been livin' in paper kingdoms that won't last
Putting faith in the castles we made with our hands
For years and years we built them up
But I'm layin' it all down
I'm tradin' my paper kingdom
For years and years we built them up
But I'm layin' it all down
I'm tradin' my paper kingdom for a room in my Father's house
We build our towers to the sky
Gold and silver for our delight
They lead us from Your love
Happiness bottled and sold
Temporary highs then lows
Promises in misplaced hope
But it's never been enough
We've been livin' in paper kingdoms that won't last
Putting faith in the castles we made with our hands
For years and years we built them up
But I'm layin' it all down
I'm tradin' my paper kingdom for a room in my Father's house
One by one I watch 'em fall
Crumbling these fragile walls
I worked so hard to raise them up
But I know they're not enough
We've been livin' in paper kingdoms that won't last
Putting faith in the castles we made with our hands
For years and years we built them up
But I'm layin' it all down
I'm tradin' my paper kingdom for a room in my Father's house
One day I'll walk streets of gold
And hear Your voice say, "Welcome home"
The one my soul has always known
Oh I can see it now
And I'm not taking earthly things
You've got a place prepared for me
With everything that I could need
So I'm layin' it all down
We've been livin' in paper kingdoms that won't last
Putting faith in the castles we made with our hands
For years and years we built them up
But I'm layin' it all down
I'm tradin' my paper kingdom
For years and years we built them up
But I'm layin' it all down
I'm tradin' my paper kingdom for a room in my Father's house
