I made a spaceship out of cardboard tubes Racing through the stars with my stickers and glue Mom said dinner’s ready but I’m too far gone Exploring galaxies in my velvet crayon My dog’s a dragon breathing fire and smoke Sidekick in the tales that we both provoke We ride through jungles in the backyard wild King of all the trees since I was a child Hey I’m just a kid making magic in the dirt Got no plans to grow up it’s the real world that can hurt So I’ll keep on dreaming with my cape tied tight Soaring ‘cross the moon every single night Found a treasure map in an old lunchbox Pirate ships await where the sidewalk stops Digging up adventures with my plastic spade Gold and jewels we claimed in the evening shade Time moves fast like a rock skipping streams But I’m holding tight to these homemade dreams Soon I’ll be taller but for now I’m small With imagination nothing’s too big or too small Hey I’m just a kid making magic in the dirt Got no plans to grow up it’s the real world that can hurt So I’ll keep on dreaming with my cape tied tight Soaring ‘cross the moon every single night
