about

You can do it. You know you can.

lyrics

In a world of make believe
You can do most anything.
And the people do
What you think they should,
And the breezes blow
Through the autumn wood,
And the heroes stand
Where heroes have always stood
In the hearts and minds of kings.

In a world of make believe
You can make your spirit shine.
And the people know
All there is to know,
And they guard the lands
Where the breezes blow,
And the heroes dance
Wherever heroes go
In the quiet songs of time.

BRIDGE: But we live our lives in the real world,
And we let the real world hold us down.
Until we end our lives in the real world
With our souls forever bound.

But hidden deep inside the real world
Is the crystal truth we never see --
That we must work to make the real world
More like the world of make believe.

In a world of make believe
We can watch our children fly.
The people gather in
The seeds that we have sown.
The woods and meadows ring
With the worlds that we have known.
We are the heroes now,
We bring our children home
And bid the real world goodbye.
