All my life I've been working toward something Believing these hands could get me through As my heart collects dust upon the shelves of my life My hands are busy working up to you And it seems that this goes on forever One more rung on a ladder ten miles high And as I sweat working one hand or the other every day I look up, see the distance, start to cry So I'm Doubting Thomas and what can I do When my sandcastles don't get me closer to you And the waves wash away what I thought was the truth In my hands, I have to open up my heart. My arm's worn out from punching the air As if I'm fighting with opponents never there Yet I know deep inside that this fight is with my soul Stop spitting in the wind and let the Father take control So I'm Doubting Thomas and what can I do When my sandcastles don't get me closer to you As they all wash away what I thought was the truth In my hands, I have to open up my heart. My hands are tied and I'm drowning My hands are tied what can I do My hands are tied and I'm drowning without you So I'm Doubting Thomas and what can I do When my sandcastles don't get me closer to you As they all wash away, look for a truth In my hands, I have to open up my heart. So I'm Doubting Thomas and what can I do When my sandcastles don't get me closer to you As they all wash away and search for the truth In my hands, I have to open up my heart.
