lyrics

Pack your bags, We're going on a trip
To puzzle out the reason for the paperclips
I honestly haven't a clue what we're going to find
But never mind!

Bring a torch, and I'll bring a tent
We're going far beyond the land of cement
We will not need a telephone to call to the sky
So wave goodbye!

I don't know the reasons for all the seven seasons
My heart feels heavy
But looking on the bright side, my eyes are open wide
So I won't look back on my hopes that died

I have a burning desire to follow the rules
To put my life together with a bucket of tools
I have loads of pieces that simply will not fit
It hurts a bit...

Come with me, and we'll lead the way
I always needed a friend today
The way we're heading is going to be so bright
After tonight!

I don't know the reasons for all the seven seasons
My heart feels heavy
But looking on the bright side, my eyes are open wide
So I won't look back on my hopes that died

I don't know the reasons for all the seven seasons
My heart feels heavy
But looking on the bright side, my eyes are open wide
And my hopes are higher now than the sun in the sky
And they'll survive!
