Happy are those children that have railways in the hall
Painting in the kitchen, stories when they're small
Friends to come and visit them, ribbons for their hair
To an awful lot of children these are castles in the air
To an awful lot of children these are castles in the air
Mothers doing washing up and neighbours picking flowers
Brothers under motorcars for hours upon hours
Coming home from school each day, knowing someone's there
To an awful lot of children these are castles in the air
To an awful lot of children these are castles in the air
Can you think how it would be if all you could recall
Was angry words and tempers or no-one there at all
Birthdays, picnics, christmases, families that care
To an awful lot of children these are castles in the air
To an awful lot of children these are castles in the air
Sometimes kids are fortunate 'cause people can be found
To foster them and care for them and always be around
All these families ever ask is just a chance to share
With all these lonely children their castles in the air
They give them homes and firesides, railways in the hall
Painting in the kitchen, stories when they're small
They let their friends come visiting, buy ribbons for their hair
But most of all to help them find their castles in the air
But most of all to help them find
