New Song "Castle in the Sky"
🕑 Added 2025-08-14 22:36:46 +0000 UTCHere’s a song I wrote with my wife a couple weeks ago. Of all the songs I've done, "Man of Stone" has always been one of my favorites. The message has been on my mind a lot the past few weeks. So I decided to write a bit of a follow up. Here’s “Castle in the Sky.” (At least I think that’s what I’ll call it haha.) Really really hope you like it. Could not be more grateful for each and every one of you. Love you all!
Lyrics:
I used to dream in color - Vibrant, wide and free - Lost in all the wonder - That poured itself on me - The stars all held a promise - The moon would never break - A world was full of magic -Not chains disguised as grace
I slipped into a slumber - Beyond a dreamless sleep - Where magic bled to numbers -And joy to balance sheets - The callouses grew thicker - ’Til wonder turned to rust - The boy who saw forever - Grew up and learned distrust
Take me to the castle in the sky - Where I could find the light I left behind - Tell me it'll be alright - Won't it be alright in time
Take me to the place I used to know - Before the world carved me into stone - Tell me it'll be alright - Won't it be alright in time
I used to dream in color - But now its black and white - The stars I used to run to - No longer catch my eyes - I’m moving through the motions - As years keep passing by - A stone without emotion - Just waiting here to die
Slipped into a slumber - I don’t know when it came - The magic the wonder - Were buried in the gray - The armor kept on growing - ’Til I became the steel - The boy who saw forever’s - Forgotten how to feel
Take me to the castle in the sky - Where I could find the life I left behind - Tell me it’ll be alright - Won’t it be alright in time
Take me to the place I used to know - Before the world carved me into stone - Tell me it’ll be alright - Won’t it be alright this time
The boy who saw forever's buried deep - But sometimes I hear him calling out from the hollowed heart in me - I can see I’m still seeing who you are - Through the pain and the weight you hold there’s gold beneath those scars - Don’t waste it all away - You don’t have to be afraid - Just wake up wake - Tear that shield you hold with pride -Don’t stay numb - And let your spirit die - I promise it’s okay to feel again - You don’t need that heavy armor just to stand
Take me to the castle in the sky - Where I could find the light I left behind - Tell me it’ll be alright -Won’t it be alright in time
Take me to the place I used to know - Before the world carved me into stone - Tell me it’ll be alright - Won’t it be alright this time

Wow dude this is one of your best all year! Moved me. Seriously this one is a keeper, and has that "something" that only a handful of your songs have, which I'd say is the touch of the Holy Spirit. Absolutely amazing job, and moving lyrics. Keep it up

Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow!! This song is just on another level! The lyrics are beautiful, the music and melody just fits and the slight changes in pitch and tone, I mean, what your voice is doing in this song is unbelievably beautiful. Overall the quality just blows my mind and man does this song pierce the heart. Well done! You can be proud of this! All the hard work that's gone into this song has paid off. Thank you.
