Castles In a Sky

Stuck in the clouds Seeing ourselves living the lives we think we deserve Every time we close our eyes We paint ourselves new castle in the sky "Dreams are the one thing we are given for free" We tell ourselves "Maybe it's our destiny" We tell ourselves "That should have been me" You know you will tell yourself Stuck in the clouds Stuck in the earth Castles in the sky, painted on greed Hopes and dreams, built on need We all want to bring our castles a little bit lower A little bit closer, a little bit clearer But when you are stuck in the clouds Seeing yourself living the life you think you deserve Closing your eyes And painting a new castle in the sky What if it all did come true? What if all the castles fell a little bit lower A little bit closer, they made things a little bit clearer? Would you really have your hopes and dreams come true? Or would your castles mirror you.
