Nala Wisama - Cardboard Castles

Nala Wisama - Cardboard Castles Scraps of paper on the wooden floor We built our fortress by the bedroom door With marker lines and bits of silver tape We gave our wildest hidden dreams a shape No golden crowns no walls of heavy stone But in our minds we ruled a world unknown Cardboard castles rising to the sky Where the fragile paper flags could fly Though the rain might wash the walls away The magic of that kingdom lives today Ooooo Ahhhh Cardboard castles The years went by and seasons turned to dust The plastic swords have long been left to rust The real world built its towers tall and cold And tried to take the innocence we hold No golden crowns no walls of heavy stone But in our minds we ruled a world unknown But when the heavy storms of life begin to pour I find myself back on that wooden floor You can crush the walls but you can't erase the spark That kept us shining through the deepest dark Cardboard castles rising to the sky Where the fragile paper flags could fly Though the rain might wash the walls away The magic of that kingdom lives today Ooooo Ahhhh Cardboard castles The child inside will never lose the throne In a beautiful empire of our own Cardboard castles In my heart #orchestra #orchestralmusic #orchestral
