Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you'll be
In the world of pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
Come with me
And you'll be
In the world of pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we see, will defy explanation
Pa pa pa
Pa ra ra
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
Pa pa pa
Pa ra ra
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la
