Mason Jennings - Castles Lyrics

Mason Jennings Lyrics

"Castles"

While the world was
Busy burning
We were learning
Building castles in the air

Papa was a broken bank
Mama was a ship that sank
We were smart and broke our rank
Building castles in the air

All around us
Hope was dying
We kept trying
Building castles in the air
Building castles in the air

We hid the truth inside our chest
We kept it safe beneath our breast
Imagination did the rest
Building castles in the air
Building castles in the air

Children take their sorrow
And turn it into light
Rainbows made from darkness
Such a sad and beautiful sight
A sad and beautiful sight

Some go inward with their fear
Some give up and disappear
We hold fast to what is dear
Building castles in the air

In the morning
We'll be working
Now and always
Building castles in the air
Building castles in the air
Building castles in the air
Building castles in the air
Building castles in the air
Building castles in the air
Building castles in the air
