Ivory Castles

Aren't all the ivory castles

Worth all of the hassles?

One incurs when he blows his mind

Aren't all the rainbow colors

Worth all the rain?

Aren't the fine sensations

worth all the pain?

If life seems to be a drag

Keep your spirits high

and try to quit relying

On the outside world

To bring you joy

You can't command them

To want anything but wealth

Don't try and understand them

'Till you understand yourself

No greed and hated (rule?) today

I feel it right now

Going up and coming down

Colors all around

And I thrive

Now all my ivory castles

Were surely worth the hassles

And I'm glad

That I blew my mind

I've learned to make my pleasures

Things that I can find

I've learned to take my treasures

And store them in my mind

And happiness is everything
