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.
