Infantasia

Let the elephants dance - In Fantasia

Pounce around without a care

I can't sleep and I can't pray ‘cause of all the things I've seen.

Let the animals dig their holes in the night and find truffles and things.

Having dinner in France on the day trip

When the buskers played the streets everywhere

I can't sleep and I can't pray ‘cause of all the things I've seen.

I know, I think I know why the sky calls out

And cheers for children like we

When the road is steep and the blows are hard

We're young enough to still believe in rainbows

Strong enough to fight for beauty.

In my mind’s little lenses I walk past

Chelsea pubs and wrought iron fences

I can't sleep and I can't pray ‘cause of all the things I've seen.

All the hullaballoo of the day past so easily

Lost my game boy, found a friend.

Napoleon stared through his boots at me, or was it Nelson, I cried a bit

Now I can’t sleep and I can't pray ‘cause of all the things I've seen.

And I know, I think I know why the sky calls out

And cheers for children like we

When the road is steep and the blows are hard

We're young enough to still believe in rainbows

Strong enough to fight for beauty.

With malice to none, with charity to all

I curl here

And I can’t sleep and I can't pray ‘cause of all the things I feel.

There’s a terrible noise outside the window

But I'm not scared; it’s just the pigeons on the roof.

There’s a shimmering quality to the night which I can’t say

But it’s humming, and it’s coming with its promise.

And I know, I think I know why the sky calls out and cheers for children like we

The road is steep and the blows are hard

But we're young enough to still believe in rainbows

Strong enough to fight for beauty.
