Sinking Sand

You’re standing in sinking sand
It’s never gonna change it’s never gonna change
You spend your life making plans
Then you throw them all away yeah you throw them all away
If you move you’ll sink down further
If you stand still you’ll stay the same
Oh what a foolish man
To be standing in sinking sand
And still be playing these games

You’re free and young
You’re flying strong
You’re so sure you’ll never be down in the mud with everyone

Buy you dip your toe in
And before you know
You can’t move for the fear of change

Now you’re standing in sinking sand
It’s never gonna change it’s never gonna change
You spend your life making plans
Just to throw them all away yeah you throw them all away
And if you scream then no one hears you
But If you stay quiet you’ll fade away
Oh what a foolish man
To be standing in sinking sand
With nothing to say

You’re full of fear
Year after year
You stand aside and watch your dreams
Slowly die and disappear

Yeah you’re sinking down
And you may drown
For you can’t move for the fear of change

Now you’re standing in sinking sand
It’s never gonna change well it’s never gonna change
You spend your life making plans
Then you throw them all away yeah you throw them all away
And if you leave it’s all for nothing
It’s all for show though if you stay
Oh what a foolish man
To be standing in sinking sand
Day after day
Oh what a foolish man
To be standing in sinking sand
When you could have walked away
