There are places in the worldWhere people do not dream…Of rocket-powered unicornsAnd candy cane machinesOf magic watermelon boatsAnd musical baboonsOr teeny tiny trumpet playersTraining pet raccoonsYes there are places in the worldWhere people dream up dreamsSo simply un-fantasticalAnd practical they seem…To lose all possibilityOf thinking super thingsOf dancing wild animalsWith diamond-coated wingsInstead they dream of furnitureOf buying a new hatOf owning matching silverwareCould you imagine that?Instead they lay awake at nightWishing for a carNot one that runs on jellybeans…But one that’s reg-u-larThey dream of breakfast sandwichesThey dream of telephonesSometimes they even dream of dreamsThat aren’t even their ownYes there are places in the worldWhere dreams are almost deadSo please my child do keep in mindBefore you go to bedTo dream a dream as bigAs big could ever dream to beThen dream a dream ten times as bigAs that one dream you seeThen once you’ve got that dream in mindPlease dream a million moreAnd not a million quiet dreamsA million dreams that roarA million dreams so loud they screamSo loud they sing and shoutSo super huge they say“Hey world! Guess what I’m dreamin’ bout”“I’m dreaming about everythingthat no one thought to wonderDreams so big that they’ve got dreamsAnd they’ve got dreams up under!”Please dream for those who’ve given upFor those who’ve never triedPlease use your dreamsTo make new dreamsFor all the dreams that diedCause you’re the one whose dreams can beWhatever dreams you wantWhose dreams can change the way things areAnd the way that things are notAnd if they say that all your dreamsAre too big to come trueYou tell them that I told you…“That’s what dreams are meant to do!”They’re meant to make you seem as ifYou don’t know up from downBecause dreams are dreams and that’s whyDreams are worth having around!So when you think your dreaming’s doneJust remember what I said“close your eyes my childand dreamthat perfect dreaminside your head”

I have to get that book! How did you find out about it??? It would be fun to do an "enrichment" night around! You could read it...

You could use it for a RS lesson, or a YW lesson... SO CUTE!
