Today I got lost in a castle
Whose spires were built of sand
Engineered by our tiny hands
We conquered lands and seas
Composing our kingdom
Working into dusk our movements were lit
By the luminescence of fairies
We danced alongside their glow
We danced to smiles and happiness
The clinking of royal jewelry filling the night
The rustle of our gowns, the ocean waves
As if imagination was a desirable disease
