[Intro]
Stars in your eyes, little one
Where do you go to dream?
To a place we all know
The land of make believe
The land of make believe

[Verse 1]
Shadows tapping at your window
Ghostly voices whisper, "Will you come and play?"
Not for all the tea in China
Or the corn in Carolina, never, never ever
They're running after you, babe

[Chorus]
Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again, time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe

[Verse 2]
Something nasty in your garden
Waiting patiently 'till it can have your heart
Try to go, but it won't let you
Don't you know it's out to get you?
Running, keep on running
They're running after you, babe

[Chorus]
Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again, time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe

[Bridge]
Your world is turning from night to day
Your dream is burning far away

[Chorus]
Into the blue, you and I
To the circus in the sky
Captain Kidd's on the sand
With the treasure close at hand
In the land of make believe

Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again, time to change
Superman will be with us while he can
In the land of make believe

[Outro]
Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again, time to change
(I've got a friend who comes to tea)
Superman will be with us while he can
(And no one else can see but me, he came today)
In the land of make believe (but had to go)
(To visit you? You'll never know)
