Songtexte Castle in the Sky - Nathan Wagner

I used to dream in color
Vibrant, wide and free
Lost in all the wonder
That poured itself on me
The stars all held a promise
The moon would never break
A world full of magic
Not chains disguised as grace
I slipped into a slumber
Beyond a dreamless sleep
Where magic bled to numbers
And joy to balance sheets
The calluses grew thicker
'Til wonder turned to rust
The boy who saw forever
Grew up and learned distrust

Take me to the castle in the sky
Where I could find the light I left behind
Tell me it'll be alright
Won't it be alright in time
Take me to the place I used to know
Before the world carved me into stone
Tell me it'll be alright
Won't it be alright this time

Oh
Oh

I used to dream in color
But now it's black and white
The stars I used to run to
No longer catch my eyes
I'm moving through the motions
As years are passing by
A stone without emotion
Just waiting here to die
Slipped into a slumber
I don't know when it came
The magic and the wonder
Were buried in the gray
The armor kept on growing
'Til I became the steel
The boy who saw forever's
Forgotten how to feel

Take me to the castle in the sky
Where I could find the life I left behind
Tell me it'll be alright
Won't it be alright in time
Take me to the place I used to know
Before the world carved me into stone
Tell me it'll be alright
Won't it be alright this time

Oh
Oh

The boy who saw forever's buried deep
But sometimes I hear him calling out
From the hollowed heart in me
I can see I'm still seeing who you are
Through the pain and the weight you hold
There's gold beneath those scars
Don't waste it all away
You don't have to be afraid
Just wake up, wake
Tear that shield you hold with pride
Don't stay numb
And let your spirit die
I promise it's okay to feel again
You don't need that heavy
Armor just to stand

Take me to the castle in the sky
Where I could find the light I left behind
Tell me it'll be alright
Won't it be alright in time
Take me to the place I used to know
Before the world carved me into stone
Tell me it'll be alright
Won't it be alright this time

Oh
Ah
