As a kid, castles I did build
Aloft clouds so high
All Sunshine and Sky
As the world engulfed me,
Sometimes I surprised myself,
Sometimes the world surprised me
Even now I build castles,
But those are in Sand...
Waves can conquer, out of hand...
But in the temple that resides within...
The lamp is lit
The flame strong and glowing...
