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
