Seems as though I'm sinking where I stand
Everything is slipping through my hands
Built all of my kingdoms out of sand
But they washed away with the waves
I've been the queen of material things
They go just as fast as the wind
Dollars and dreams the popular scenes
They never sustain in the end
I've denied the thought of no control
While ruling over towns I didn't own
Searching for what satisfies my soul
Would I be subject to change
I've been the queen of material things
They go just as fast as the wind
Dollars and dreams the popular scenes
They never sustain in the end
Can't stop the wind from blowing
Stand back and watch the tide roll in
Sometimes a way of growing
Feels like you're at the start again
There's more to life than gaining
The whole world just to lose it all
So when your walls start shaking
I've been the queen of material things
They go just as fast as the wind
Dollars and dreams, the popular scenes
They never sustain in the end
