Castles In The Air
Daring Determination
in the still of the forest on the edge of the sea
lies a mound of regrets that I harbor for free
if I can't move the mountain, then the mountain moves me
so, I dig in my roots like the mighty oak tree
*
through the gravel and sand, I push my way through
determined there is nothing that I cannot do
stronger than the storm as the battle ensues
so much stronger than anything you ever knew
*
beaten and battered still no worse for the wear
keep throwing your shade and poking the bear
I will continue to build my castles in the air
look you straight in the eye, cause the devil may care
