I found a land of wonders
Where I could do anything.
Without a soul to call my own
I forged one from the stars
And stood tall with my head high
Until I came back down.
Without a heart to call my own
I took one from this strange land
And built a castle from my bones
Until I came back down.
Without a stomach to call my own
I stole one from a sea monster
And found myself in a land of sweets
Until I came back down.
Without an idea to call my own
I took some thoughts from an ogre’s head,
And built them into a world of dreams,
Until I came back down.
