Cover art for Cardboard Castles lyrics by Diana Degarmo

In this song, the people have huge dreams of what they think is the perfect life, and they go after them and fail. They have to learn that they can have a wonderful life with a lot less. "Building cardboard castles" is like taking the only thing you have left, and creating something beautiful for yourself.
