Where the Wild Things Are
[Intro]
So wake up, sleepy one
It's time to save your world
[Verse 1]
Steal dreams and give to you
Shoplift a thought or two
All children touch the Sun
Burn fingers one by one
By one
[Pre-Chorus]
Will this Earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain through?
[Chorus]
So wake up, sleepy one
It's time to save your world
You're where the wild things are, yeah
Toy soldiers off to war
[Verse 2]
Big eyes to open soon
Believing all under Sun and Moon
But does Heaven know you're here?
And did they give you smiles or tears?
No, no tears
[Pre-Chorus]
Will this Earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain through?
[Chorus]
So wake up, sleepy one
It's time to save your world
You're where the wild things are, yeah
Toy soldiers off to war
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
You swing your rattle down
(Hand puppets storm the beach. Fire trucks trapped out of reach)
Call to arms, the trumpets sound
(Hand puppets storm the beach. Fire trucks trapped out of reach)
(All clowns reinforce the rear. Slingshots fire into the air)
Toy horses start the charge
(All clowns reinforce the rear. Slingshots fire into the air)
(Stuffed bears hold the hill 'til death. Crossfire from the marionettes)
Robot chessmen standing guard
(Stuffed bears hold the hill 'til death. Crossfire from the marionettes)
We shall never surrender
[Pre-Chorus]
All you children touch the Sun
Burn your fingers one by one
Will this Earth be good to you?
Keep you clean or stain through?
[Chorus]
So wake up, sleepy one
It's time to save your world
You're where the wild things are, yeah
Toy soldiers off to war
Off to war
Off to war
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
So close your little eyes
