lyrics
Why should I spend my time
With these worries, waste my life away?
Why should I chase another setting sun
When this moon is right in front of me?
If you’ve built your castles in the air, oh no
Don’t worry, that’s where they’re supposed to be
Now build your foundation from below
And live your life deliberately
Why should I hit the road
When my home is the place to be?
Why should I waste my mind
When this moment’s right in front of me?
If you’ve built your castles in the air, oh no
Don’t worry, that’s where they’re supposed to be
Now build your foundation from below
And live your life deliberately
"I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
If you’ve built your castles in the air, oh no
Don’t worry, that’s where they’re supposed to be
Now build your foundation from below
And live your life deliberately
We all sing...
