Stars in your eyes, little one
Where do you go to dream
To a place, we all know
The land of make believe.

Shadows, tapping at your window
Ghostly voices whisper will you come and play
Not for all the tea in China
Or the corn in Carolina
Never, never ever
They're running after you babe.

Refrain:
Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again
Time to change, Superman
He'll be with us while he can
In the land of make believe.

Something nasty in your garden's waiting
Patiently, till it can have your heart
Try to go but it won't let you
Don't you know it's out to get you running
Keep on running
They're running after you babe.

Refrain.

Your world is turning, from night to day
Your dream is burning far, far away.

Into the blue, you and I
To the circus in the sky
Captain Kids on the sand
With the treasure close at hand
In the land of make believe.

In the land of make believe.

Refrain (2x).

(Little girl):
I've got a friend who comes to tea
And no-one else can see but me
He came today, but had to go
To visit you, you never know.
