[Verse] I built a castle out of clouds so thin Towers swayed where stars begin My hands held shadows Soft as skin [Chorus] An impossible dream It whispered my name Burned like a fire But froze just the same I chased it I lost it I called it a friend An impossible dream that would never bend [Verse 2] I walked a tightrope made of moonlight threads Below The world with its heavy beds Above The sky that never sheds [Prechorus] It teased me It pulled me It laughed in my ear I ran toward the echo It ran from my fear [Chorus] An impossible dream It whispered my name Burned like a fire But froze just the same I chased it I lost it I called it a friend An impossible dream that would never bend [Bridge] I caught it once It slipped through my hands Like trying to hold oceans Or grip shifting sands I screamed to the heavens "just let me stand"
