We Build Our Castles in the Air
Building Fortresses of Love: To Be Gentle's Poetic Haven
Lyrics
I am longing to be with you
I yearn to be in your company
And to see your face
Desire to gaze upon your countenance
Sit with me by the sea and we'll forget everything
Join me beside the ocean, where we can escape from all concerns
Everything that should not be
Leave behind all undesirable aspects of life
Everything that should not be, we'll forget them
Together, we will erase those undesirable elements from our thoughts
Your fear of your failures reminds me of my own and it scares me
Your anxiety about failures reflects my own, creating unease
This place that we've made that we call our own is home
Our created space, our cherished abode, is our true home
These towers stand high, the stones in the walls are strong
The constructed towers are tall, the walls resilient
We sit on a cloud in the sky away from all our troubles when I am with you
Together, on a metaphorical cloud in the sky, we escape troubles
Break these chains
Free ourselves from constraints
Feel and grow
Experience and mature
Precious keepsake, that I call home
A cherished possession, symbolizing home
Stay with me in our sky away from our fears
Stay with me in our elevated realm, away from fears
I remember fading in and out of sleep, I reached out to touch your face
Recall moments of drifting between wakefulness and sleep, reaching for your face
There were bright and stark differences in the senses and the colors
Notice vivid distinctions in sensations and colors
Light poured in through the door, illuminating qualities of your visage
Light enters, revealing the qualities of your appearance
Gentle, so gentle, it reminded me to be gentle for you always
The gentleness observed serves as a reminder to always be gentle for you
We build our castles in the air
We construct our dreams and aspirations without a tangible foundation
Brick by brick, fortify this stronghold
Build and strengthen our refuge, overcoming challenges
Throw your fears into the sky
Discard worries, let them dissipate into the atmosphere
Replace pain with our home
Exchange suffering for the comfort of our created home
