All Comes Crashing - Metric

From the time that you set foot upon this earth to pass your days You are walking on borrowed ground, and you may stake no claims To the soil and to the water, to the creatures lying by Even the breath you take is loaned from on high(chorus) (It all comes down) In the end, all the works of your hand Though built of stone and honesty no earthly house shall ever stand (And it all comes down) Down in the end like a hand full of sand (And it all comes down) (And it all comes down) Down in the endAs you walk along those Borders with the deed held in your hand Just remember you don't own this you are a steward of this land So seek wisdom and show mercy leaving some for another day For you will call upon yourself the same someday(It all comes down) In the end, all the works of your hand Though built of stone and honesty no earthly house shall ever stand (And it all comes down) Down in the end like a hand full of sand (And it all comes down) (And it all comes down) Down in the endWhen you drift down like A leaf to find your final resting place You will return what you have borrowed you will have to show your face And did you help some troubled soul did you try to lend a hand For only kindness in the end alone shall stand(It all comes down) In the end, all the works of your hand Though built of stone and honesty no earthly house shall ever stand (And it all comes down) Down in the end like a hand full of sand (And it all comes down) (And it all comes down) Down in the end(It all comes down) In the end, all the works of your hand Though built of stone and honesty no earthly house shall ever stand (And it all comes down) Down in the end like a hand full of sand (And it all comes down) (And it all comes down) Down in the end(And it all comes down) (And it all comes down) Down in the end
