Eventually

If you build your dream beside the ocean,
and it will be overtaken by the wind and sea.
 
eventually

Build it on a mountain
and it will slide into the falcon's beak.

eventually

Build it in the forest 
and somebody will put it to fire and madness

eventually

Build your dream on the plains
and it will be taken by the wind 
heat and rain.

eventually

Build your dream in the city 
it will succumb to a city's rage
eventually 
all dreams will wither 
with weather, time and men with foul intentions.
