The Land of Make Believe Lyrics

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

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

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

Something nasty in your garden's 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
Run for the sun, little one
You're an outlaw once again
Time to change, Superman
He'll be with us while he can
In the land of make believe

Your world is turning
From night to day
Your dream is burning far, far away

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

In the land of make believe

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

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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
