At times, the castle on the hill
seems so close and in full light
that if I would squint my eyes,
with my hand I could touch it
And by the movement of my breath
I could spread my wings and fly up
So close, that I can already feel
the warmth of the home fire
And how the table is set for us
And at times,
the castle seems so far and high
And I see all the obstacles
How dark clouds surround it,
the road I need to climb
But it’s not the castle that changes position
It’s my mind that creates the distance
And how far it may seem
It’s the promise of the castle
that won’t get out of my heart’s sight
