Castle on a Cloud: Vocals & Composition by NomiS (@NomisHipHop) - Additional Vocals by Sarah Dean
Verse 1:
I built a castle on a cloud once/
Where all the dirt of the earth was replaced where the river wide runs/
And the fun it doesn't cease/
There's trees in abundance and none beneath the sun to be the hunted/
Im free, yes sir Im free from the brunt of it/
And bravery, has replaced the slavery of punishment/
Im free, yes ma'am I'm free and its lovely/
Adjusting, to the ones above me who love me/
Its me, yes sir its me, I can grow and explore/
Everything, you with holded before/
I am me, yes ma'am Im me, who you scold and ignore/
But when I'm here, its gold & galore/
I am free/
Verse 2:
Come to a Cloud, shoot for the moon, for the wonder and wow/
Wow/
Under a cloud of wonder, incoming thunder loud where the sun turns down/
Down/
Down to the depths with the peasants, where no rest is, its a death in an essence/
In an essence death is an exit, but this aint a life, so the gift of a life is a death in the present/
In the present/
Presently Im missing him, a God who acknowledges and grins when blessing me/
But I hold to the faith that he'll bring my dream to rescue me/
Verse 3:
There is a Castle on a Cloud/
I like to go there in my sleep/
Aren't any floors for me to sweep/
Not in my Castle on a Cloud/
There is a lady all in white/
Holds me and sings a lullaby/
She's nice to see and she's soft to touch/
She says, "Cosette, I love you very much"/
