Verse 1:
(piano in left channel plays )
Leave your cares behind
Come with us and find
The pleasures of a journey to the center of the mind
Chorus:
Come along if you care
()
Come along if you dare
()
Take a ride to the land inside (1,2: of your mind)
(3: and you'll see)
Verse 2:
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyone the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes
and dreams where things are really not
repeat chorus
Bridge:
But please realise
You'll probably be surprised

Where fantasy is fact
So if you can, please understand

You might not come back

Verse 3 (note extra line):
How happy life could be
If all of mankind
