I lay awake night after night
Wondering why I have so much
I'm riding my camel, approaching the eye
My cloak becomes harder to give

Can't you hear them screaming
"please just save us from this mess"
And you turn your back and tell yourself
"none of this is making sense"
And if I could build castles in the air
I would keep them safe straight on 'till morning

We're so caught and tied up
In things that we like to call problems
That we can't even see
Our own sisters and brothers
Who have nothing at all

Can't you hear them screaming
"please just save us from this mess"
And you turn your back and tell yourself
"none of this is making sense"
And if I could build castles in the air
I would keep them safe straight on 'till morning

I don't expect
I don't expect you to understand
I don't expect
(And all I've ever wanted was
To see them breathe the air)

Can't you hear them screaming
"please just save us from this mess"
And you turn your back and tell yourself
"none of this is making sense"
And if I could build castles in the air
I would keep them safe straight on 'till morning
