"Shall we dance and sing aloud?
Shall we fly upon a cloud?
Come follow me,
For you will see,
Come and join the crowd.
"I'm going away, and you can come too
to Dreamland, where wishes come true
It is a happy place
Where they embrace
Plesant dreamers like you."
He extended his hand, his smile sly
And soon I was up in the sky
Around we twirled
On top of the world
Our dreamland waiting nearby.
We soared over a hill-- yipee!
And there atop a puffy sea
It was not a cloud
But marshmellows plowed
Into my dreamland waiting for me.
Plesant thoughts filled the air
For Dreamland is a place where
Whatever you dreamed
Happens just as it seemed
You wish for it and suddenly it's there.
But plauges of sadness filled this land
Where we used to walk hand in hand
For when you'd think a bad thought
Another war would be fought
So thinking bad thoughts was banned.
Cops on those once beautiful streets
Without dreaming, minds weren't complete
Controling the mind
Of humankind
Was just an impossible feat.
So back over the hills I flew
And created a place that was fresh and new
Where dreamers could dream
Succeed and be supreme
But their dreams didn't come true.
And Dreamland's past I could erase
Once I created that beautiful space
Where dreamers could roam
And call that place home
Planet Earth is what I called that place.
