[Verse 1]
When you're feelin' down and out
Wonderin' what this world's about
I know a place that has
The answer
[Verse 2]
It's a place where no one dies
It's a land where no one cries
And good vibrations always
Greet you
[Verse 3]
How I love when my thoughts run
To the land of make believe
Where everything is fun
Forever
[Verse 4]
Children always gather 'round
Mother Goose and all her rhyme
They fill the air with sounds
Of laughter
[Bridge]
People dancing
Their hearts are filled
With all the reasons why
[Verse 5]
You and I should learn the way
Of the land of make believe
And make this world of ours
Much brighter
[Flugelhorn Solo]
[Verse 6]
I once asked the Wizard of Oz
For the secret of his land
He said, Just take a look around here
[Verse 7]
Seven dwarves and Little Boy Blue
Uncle Remus and Snow White, too
(Now, just between us
That's what's known as integration)
[Verse 8]
Jack and Jill are hard at work
Helping children dream awhile
And Snoopy's making smiles
For grown-ups
[Verse 9]
All the elves are making toys
They are rich with all the joys
Of seeing happy kids
At Christmas
[Bridge]
We are waiting
To help you find
The dream made just for you
[Verse 10]
In a few words let's just say
That in answer to your quiz
Imagination is
The secret
[Saxophone Solo]
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 11]
Hear the music of the band
It was written in our land
For what's a song but someone's
Dream?
[Verse 12]
In your world there was a King
He once said, "I have a dream"
Now there's a man who knew
The secret
[Bridge]
Dreams are really
The thoughts that you
Have hidden in your heart
[Verse 13]
When you start a brand new day
Let your heart show you the way
And make a dream or two
Come true
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 14]
How I love when my thoughts run
To the land of make believe
Where everything is fun
Forever
