Into Wonderland
Mike Oldfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

May I say
One fine day
If you say you would
We could run away

Just say goodbye
With no cloud in the sky
This time sunshine
We're gonna fly

You can hear the whistle blow
There's no one gonna know
Take my hand and
We can softly go

When the stars come out to shine
You are gonna be mine
Sure as a love that's just
We are gonna be fine

Just take my hand
And try to understand
We'll fly, honey pie
Into wonderland

And if you want me to
I'll come back with you




Sure as a love that's just
I love you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Into Wonderland" by Mike Oldfield express desire for an escape from reality into a dreamlike utopia with a loved one. The singer is asking their partner to join them on an adventure, where they can leave behind all the worries of the world they live in and find freedom in the miles they can travel together. The lyrics are a request for companionship and unconditional love for each other. The song speaks to the idea of commitment and the importance of having someone we can count on to be there for us through thick and thin. When the world seems rough, sometimes we need to take a step back and enjoy the simple pleasures that life has to offer with someone we care about.


Oldfield’s use of the imagery of trains, blue sky and stars, and handholding works to reinforce the message of going on a journey, one that will not be anything less than euphoric. The verse "this time sunshine, we're gonna fly" illustrates this theme of going beyond any challenges, of freedom and limitless possibilities when two people are together.


Overall, "Into Wonderland" is an invitation to run away from the mundane and monotonous, to embark on a journey where love is eternal and only the magic of the journey matters.

May I say
May I speak openly and honestly


One fine day
At some point in the future (which will be great)


If you say you would
If you agree to my proposition


We could run away
We could escape somewhere together


Just say goodbye
Just tell the people we're leaving


With no cloud in the sky
On a clear day


This time sunshine
This time the weather will be good


We're gonna fly
We'll travel somewhere quickly and effortlessly


You can hear the whistle blow
We can leave quickly and discreetly


There's no one gonna know
No one will notice us leaving


Take my hand and
Hold onto me, and


We can softly go
We can leave quietly and secretly


When the stars come out to shine
At night


You are gonna be mine
You'll be with me


Sure as a love that's just
As sure as the love we share


We are gonna be fine
We'll be alright


Just take my hand
Hold onto me


And try to understand
And try to see things how I do


We'll fly, honey pie
We'll escape together, my dear


Into wonderland
To a place where anything is possible and life is more exciting


And if you want me to
And if you want me to come back with you


I'll come back with you
I'll return home with you


Sure as a love that's just
As sure as the love we share


I love you
I care deeply for you
