Why do we build Castles in the Sky????
I’m so glad that you asked that question? Now I've thought of that for a long time since i started to listen to the song which appears on the hit game DanceDanceRevoluiton for Xbox and Playstation2.  Now I thought the same thing and wish to know what it meant and and answer to the question "why do we build castles in the sky?" so turned to the vast world that is the Internet to find out what the hell the lyrics to the song mean. But I couldn't.... I read an interview with the writer and singer of the song, and she said that she doesn’t want to tell what it means; she wants people to figure it out a meaning that fits theme. So I did just that. I first will explain what the question means and then will answer it, although the answer may appear obvious.
Meaning: Okay I think that the song and that line of the lyrics refers to goals that we set for ourselves or just living life happy in general. We must first FLY in the sky above the earth; above the earthly problems or obstacles that face us on the earth which prevent us from reaching our goals, or being happy in life whether they be peers or family or any earthly thing. That is the easy part, now for the hard part... But we ourselves make our own obstacles in the sky as we fly (the metaphor i made for living.) These obstacles I call Castles...Castles sooooo big that we cant even see around them, let alone fly around. (I know this sounds weird). These Castles or obstacles are self-made by emotions like: self-doubt, greed, anger, and jealousy. Selfishness...ect.... stuff like that, and these Castles get in our way of either reaching our goals or living life happy. SO now the question:
Why do we build castles in the sky?: I don't know, the only reason I can think of is 'we are human.' BUT what I DO know is that while these castles are bad they are avoidable...sure we may feel anger, envy, doubt, once in a while, but we are not to dwell on these feelings, we must let them pass and the castle goes away and we can fly/live freely. Get it.
It may be a stretch but that is what I think about those lyrics and what it means.
What do you think?

Let it Be

When i find myself in times of trouble
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

All you need is love

Love, love, love.
Love, love, love.
Love, love, love.

There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say but you can learn how to play the game.
It’s easy.

Nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.
It’s easy.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

Nothing you can know that isn’t known.
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.
Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.
It’s easy.

All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.

All you need is love (all together, now!)
All you need is love. (everybody!)
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need (love is all you need).

Yee-hai!
Oh yeah!
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.
She loves you, yeah yeah yeah.

All Good Gifts

We plow the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand
He sends the snow in winter
The warmth to swell the grain
The breezes and the sunshine
And soft refreshing rain

All good gifts around us
Are sent from heaven above
So thank the Lord, oh thank the Lord
For all his love

We thank thee then oh Father
For all things bright and good
The seedtime and the harvest
Our life, our health, our food
No gifts have we to offer
For all thy love imparts
But that which thou desirest
Our humble thankful hearts

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
But Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.
