Cornerstone (Let Love Be Your Foundation)

If you build your life
On the things people say
You'll build a house of cards in the wind
Because they'll change their minds
And they'll all go away
And you'll have to start over again

But if you let Love be your foundation
You will never be alone
In the hour of your quiet desperation
You gotta let Love be your cornerstone

If you build your dreams
On silver and gold
Your dreams will never be secure
Because worldly things
Can be bought and sold
Well, they're not the kind
Of dreams that endure

Ah, but if you let Love be your foundation
You will never be alone
In the hour of your quiet desperation
You gotta let Love be your cornerstone

Everybody needs a rock to cling to
Everybody needs to find a home
Safe from the rainy days
It will not wash away a cornerstone

Oh, if you let Love be your foundation
You will never be alone
In the hour of your quiet desperation
You gotta let Love be your cornerstone
