Dig a hole for a firm foundation,
where to lay the bricks upon;
putting one stone on the other,
building a perfect home,
building it stone by stone.

And while she's brooding, she falls asleep,
and this is what she dreams:

Little girl building castles.
Small girl growing.
Sand turns to stone.

The hole is dug and ready, filled with concrete.
She lays the bricks around herself;

putting one stone on the other,
building a perfect home,
building it stone by stone.

But when she tries to invite her husband
and the daughter to come inside,
she realizes she's forgotten
leaving holes in the walls
for windows and a door.

Now she's locked inside herself,
she can't escape her fears.
All the feelings usually neglected
now fall back on her.
