From the time that you set foot upon this earth to pass your days
\nYou are walking on borrowed ground, and you may stake no claims
\nTo the soil and to the water, to the creatures lying by
\nEven the breath you take is loaned from on high<\/p>\n
(chorus)
\n(It all comes down)
\nIn the end, all the works of your hand
\nThough built of stone and honesty no earthly house shall ever stand
\n(And it all comes down)<\/p>\n
As you walk along those borders with the deed held in your hand
\nJust remember you don’t own this you are a steward of this land
\nSo seek wisdom and show mercy leaving some for another day
\nFor you will call upon yourself the same someday<\/p>\n
(It all comes down)
\nIn the end, all the works of your hand
\nThough built of stone and honesty no earthly house shall ever stand
\n(And it all comes down)
\nDown in the end like a hand full of sand
\n(And it all comes down)
\n(And it all comes down)
\nDown in the end<\/p>\n
When you drift down like a leaf to find your final resting place
\nYou will return what you have borrowed you will have to show your face
\nAnd did you help some troubled soul did you try to lend a hand
\nFor only kindness in the end alone shall stand<\/p>\n
