(Verse 1)
There’s a castle made of stone, where the wild winds blow,
High above the valley where the river runs low.
Two little boys with laughter in their eyes,
One’s learning to run, the other’s learning to fly.
(Verse 2)
Max has never left those cold white walls,
But he dreams bigger than the world so small.
Says, “Mama, don’t you worry, I ain’t afraid,
Every day I get is a gift I’ll take.”
(Chorus)
From the castle on the hill, we watch the world go by,
The stars are singing stories in the endless sky.
Holdin’ onto moments, ‘cause they slip like sand,
But Max says, “Mama, live it while you can.”
(Verse 3)
Cast runs ahead, always reaching high,
Max holds my hand, says, “Mama, it’s alright.”
He don’t talk like a child, he don’t cry for long,
Says, “If I’m here today, I’m gonna sing my song.”
(Chorus)
From the castle on the hill, we watch the world go by,
The stars are singing stories in the endless sky.
Holdin’ onto moments, ‘cause they slip like sand,
But Max says, “Mama, live it while you can.”
(Bridge)
The fire’s burnin’ bright, the stories never fade,
Percy hums a tune, Grover laughs in the shade.
And the winds carry voices of the ones we miss,
But Max just smiles, says, “It don’t get better than this.”
(Chorus - Stronger)
From the castle on the hill, we watch the world go by,
The stars are singing stories in the endless sky.
Holdin’ onto moments, ‘cause they slip like sand,
But Max says, “Mama, live it while you can.”
(Outro - Soft & Gentle)
There’s a castle made of stone, where the wild winds blow,
High above the valley where the river runs low.
And if you listen close, when the night is still,
You’ll hear a boy’s laughter from the castle on the hill.
