Lyrics Castles - Ivy Quainoo

Castles

They may have ten walls
But i have four
Theirs might be silver
But mine are tall
They may be cardboard
But they are strong
They hold us together
When our days are long
Let’s play house
Like you said we would
Start from the ground
Then slowly build it up
Might not be much
But is everything to us!
Smooth are the crinkles
Lay the pages down with pride
Newspaper houses
But at least
I’ll call them mine
Take from your pocket
All you own and lay it down
Crinkled notes and chocolate pennies
Let’s build a castle in the sky
(i will build it, yes i will build it)
It may be small but it’s paradise
(up up up, up up up)
We’re building castles in the sky
(we will build them, yes we will build them)
Pick up the bricks, pick up the bricks
Just you and i!
No picked fences
Or fields of gold
The grass is greener
But it feels so cold
Home will always be
Where ever you belong
A palace in the sky
In the sky
Every house is a palace
Every room we build
Big or small doesn’t matter
It’ll be strong like steel
Floating high in the sky
Doesn’t mean it isn’t real
See the walls how they glitter, glitter!
For you and i!
Just you and i!
We’re building castles
