There's so much to see on the Island of Sodor
Waterfalls and windmills, valleys of green
All this and more on the Island of Sodor
Colourful carpet for all to see

People happily ride round the Island
Flying so high in a big red balloon
From mountains high and down to the seaside
Everyone wishing they'll all come back soon

High in the red balloon
Up above looking down on everyone
You can touch the moon
High in the red balloon
Floating and spinning and climbing and rising
Way up high, look see the red balloon

Float over castles and church spires below them
Cricket being played on the quaint village green
Everyone waves at the big red balloon
Prettiest picture they've ever seen

James sees the red balloon
Floating high, wishing he could be like him
High in the sky
He waits where the river bends
Waiting to see his friend, hoping he will come again
Wishing and hoping and waiting and dreaming of flying high
Just James and the red balloon
James and the red balloon
