Analysis of Monarchs
If you need somewhere to hide,
Find your way to me.
I'd spread my arms out wide
And embrace you happily.
Find asylum in my heart,
I'll have a sanctuary in yours.
This is where life starts, my dear;
Here's your golden door.
We'll build this castle brick by brick,
A place for you and me.
Walls of stone ten miles thick,
And a moat as wide as the sea.
Build it fast or take it slow,
The decision's up to you.
But no matter what our castle will grow,
Until our lives are through.
A King and a Queen is what we are,
The castle proves it so.
It doesn't matter if we're miles apart,
We've got our golden thrones.
