Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
Come with me and you'll be
In a 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'll see will defy explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world
There's nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly wish to be
Noodle:
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Here for free, you can see
Every fact and fabrication
Take a look in this book
You can visit every single nation,
Even fly through the sky's constellations!
If you want to see Paradise,
Simply turn a page and view it
Find out how Da Vinci drew it?
Want to go to Mars?
There's nothing to it
Spend the day far away
In a world of pure imagination.
Stay up late reading Great--
Willy:
Expectations!
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Reach out, touch what was once
Just in your imagination
Don't be shy, it's alright
If you feel a little trepidation
Sometimes these things don't need
Explanation
If you want to view paradise
Simply look at them and view it
Somebody to hold on to
It's all we really need
Nothing else to it
Come with me and you'll be
In a 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'll see will defy

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
