She wears pink dresses and a crown
she’s five and no one has let her down
He wears a blanket for a cape
and runs to make his escape
she’s a princess, he’s a super hero
and the places they go
always have rainbows
there must be pirate treasure in the woods
and there’s magic in their neighbourhood
there are flying horses and unicorns
kittens and puppies newly born
there’s a chocolate fountain
and a sugar mountain
they spend their days dreaming
and some of it scheming
to be the best they can be
from all that they see
they expect to be loved
they expect to rise above
they believe in Santa Claus
that everyone obeys the laws
if they’re good they’ll get a reward
treasures or a magic sword
that life is theirs to play
sleep is just a dream away
anything is possible
take everything at a run
life is meant for dreaming
days are meant for having fun
let their imagination run wild
its only once you’re a child
