In a world where special dreams belong
and streams of sleep twinkle along,
you'll find a place of pure fantasy
a place where no one disagrees.
With wings in downy softness float
above the drift of bobbing boats,
the faeries who protect the light
to save these boats from any plight.
Within these boats are memories
that faeries guard with expertise,
with guiding lights that shine so clear
throughour this unreal hemisphere.
Through forests where the nightmares lurk
they blaze a trail and never shirk
this role they treat with careful pride
they're always by the infant's side.
In baby's trance the stream does bubble
for in their boats they're safe from trouble
as faeries invisibly they sail
keeping watch over purity's trail.
