A fortress by the beach I shall build
With sandstone walls to provide me with shelter
Storms may attempt to thrash their way inside
But they will never penetrate enough to cause harm
At night it may appear cold and lonely
Perhaps it is but a small price to pay
For within its care I shall remain in safety
Whilst the moon watches over with tenderness and care
A window I shall prise open at dawn
To bask in the glory of the rising sun
Its rays will gently caress my skin
Its power will warm the depths of my heart
When I am ready my feet shall step outside
With head held high across the sand I will stride
The cool breeze will surround and embrace me
My soul will be nourished and lifted up high
