Who knew, who would have guessed that is could all be true?
That elves were real, ogres exist, fairy godmothers too.
That witches and princes, magic beans and yellow brick roads
Were there to be found on the other side of the rainbow?
I’ve been there you see, quite recently, and I’m telling you true.
Fairy tale lands exist outside of me and you.
Over yonder where the starlight sparkles
It’s back there past that moment in time when you decided to grow up.
Yes, you still imagine things. Suspend your disbelief but
Always as the credits roll, you return to your so-called reality.
That childlike innocence and wide-eyed wonder shone so brightly in our eyes,
I confess I no longer see in your countenance.
You may call me a fool, a child, insane.
But I know the truth you can't take away.
Perhaps one day you’ll ask me to help you find it again.
