Rolling around in an elephant box
Rolling around in an elephant box
Elephant box
Carnival glitter
What glitters is gold
In the eyes, in the eyes of the old
Little toy clowns with pouty boy frowns
Dancing in circles marks the exit of tears
In this dream I lay wishing on stars
Rolling around in an elephant box {repeat 4 times}
A smile gleams in my heart
Running swiftly like a child
I grow closer and closer
To who I am – to who I am
Rolling around in an elephant box {repeat 2 times}
Monsoon days wash these tears away
Turn this frown upside down
Shedding the past to harvest brighter days
I grow stronger and stronger with each new day
Rolling around in an elephant box
And I woke up
Rolling around in an elephant box
With a smile on my face and hope in my heart
And an elephant box under my pillow
Yeah, this is just a dream
But I’m living in the days of making dreams come true
So can you
Rolling around in an elephant box
Rolling around in an elephant box {repeat ‘til end}
