Ruins Lyrics


You've been disappointed, for so long
It doesn't disappoint you, anymore
You're used to the way that you feel when you're feelin'
Let down

What if the rubble that you stand in
Are the perfect pieces that the Builder needs?
Hey yeah

He is in the ruins
He knows what He's doin'
When we fall down, down, down, down, down
He is buildin', somethin', new in, your ruins
He is buildin', somethin', new in, your ruins

I can understand why, you are scared
Tomorrow's hard to see when, you're not there
The broken, the busted, the world that you trusted
Is gone

What if the rubble that you stand in
Are the perfect pieces that the Builder needs?
Hey yeah

He is in the ruins
He knows what He's doin'
When we fall down, down, down, down, down
He is buildin', somethin', new in, your ruins
He is buildin', somethin', new in, your ruins

So don't ever give up
Stare with your eyes shut
Don't do the easy thing
See what He's doin'
Here in your ruins
He's buildin' a better thing

He is in the ruins
He knows what He's doin'
When we fall down, down, down, down, down
He is in the ruins
He knows what He's doin'
When we fall down, down, down, down, down
He is buildin', somethin', new in, your ruins
He is buildin', somethin', new in, your ruins
