Imagination

The cardboard castle protects the king The worthy knights are friends with dreams With wooden swords and paper crowns And horses made by clicking sounds That's rode by those who dare to dream Beyond a world that can't be seen By minds that limit what they believe When imagination has no bounds To take us places we've never been Or close our eyes and drift like clouds That comes to life with silhouette's Of ships that sail the sky Or shapes that's so familiar Wishing to believe they'd come alive Telling tales of great adventures Taking those who wish to fly High above and free to journey With imagination at your side Endless wonders are yours to hold When you open up your mind Cause within we're still the boys and girls Who dreamed of kings and queens Whose yard was made of distant lands Where friends could make believe That battles won, and dragons fought Was more than sticks and trees But a place we sometimes forget That imagination gives us wings Kevin D.
