Castles in the Air

A heart so big

A mind so small.

In a life so short

Light-years it may take to reach

And I hope and hope to reach.

                       

I walk and walk in the path so dark

I fall and rise from the pits that came in as a shock

Light-years it may take to reach

And I hope and hope to reach.

Hardly have I remembered the lustrous star

Lost in the unpromising subsistence

Light-years it may take to reach

And I hope and hope to reach.

The more I perceive

The gloomier it gets.

Light-years it may take to reach

And I hope and hope to reach.

To perceive is to suffer so it be

The hope of hope is with me.

 Light-years it may take to reach

And I hope and hope to reach.
