Cardboard Castles

We had no fears back then Just wild dreams within our den Lost in a world so free Laughs echo in our memory Didn't care for time's decree We found joy in make-believe Chasing shadows, tales untold Barefoot adventures, futures bold In forts of blankets, secrets to keep As stars above would silently peep We traced our dreams 'cross the sky's vast canvas In those days of endless magic, we were dauntless Playing tag until the streetlights glowed Hand in hand, where did those moments go? Pirates one day, then astronauts by moon Or kings and queens of our own afternoon [Chorus] Oh, to be young with hearts so brave In our kingdom of cardboard castles we'd save
