Casting Crowns é uma banda cristã contemporanea. A banda foi criada pelo pastor de jovens Mark Hall (que também é o vocalista e líder) para atuar como ministério universitário. Eles gravavam CD's "caseiros" para divulgar a mensagem do evangelho aos estudantes. A banda se apresentava em um grupo de jovens em Atlanta antes de ser descoberta pela lenda da música cristã contemporânea Steven Curtis Chapman. Casting Crowns conseguiu um contrato de gravação e popularizou-se em 2003 com músicas como If We Are the Body e Who Am I.

[Verse 1] D A corner office was his dream G2 More like a prison now it seems Somewhere on the corporate climb D He left his warrior behind. Now he's just a worker at a daily grind, G2 Steals his years and numbs his mind. His strength is fading, his dreams are blind Em7D This is not the life he had in mind.
[Interlude] DD/G
[Verse 2] D She lies awake as he's up at night G2 Staring at his screen that tells him lies That the grass is greener on the other side D So she's at the gym fighting off the years To be young again and calm her fears G2 That she'll never be enough for him Em7D Just as a young man catches her eye.
[Chorus 1] G2D Now they're trapped in their own worlds and their own wars AsusBm7 With their cell phones and the closed doors G2DBm7 It's funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems. G2Em7 But they're all alone together DD/G In the house of their dreams.
[Verse 3] D Little sister, she's a sixteen-year-old princess Lost somewhere between the swing set G2 And her brand new crush's chariot awaits D And big brother's rooms glowing with trophies that shout his name G2 But he'd trade all his high school fame Em7 For some backyard catch with his hero again
[Chorus 2] G2D Now they're trapped in their own worlds and their own wars AsusBm7 With their cell phones and the closed doors G2DBm7 It's funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems. G2Em7 But they're all alone together DD/G In the house of their dreams.
[Verse 4] D So now they're all dressed up in Sunday best Sit up straight just like the rest G2D And they sing the songs of peace and rest that Jesus freely gives D And then their kids look up as daddy stands And he takes his bride with trembling hands G2 Brother kneels at his father's side as princess looks in her mother's eyes D/GF#m7Em7 Their tears tear down the walls as daddy prays
[Chorus 3] G2D We're trapped in our own worlds and our own wars AsusBm7 With our cell phones and our closed doors G2DBm7 God, only You can save our family G2 And on this Rock, we'll build D/F#Em7 On this Rock, we'll build DD/G The house of our dreams
