F#m
It was the night before

When all through the world

No words, no dreams
     Gb      F
Then one day
F#m
A writer by a fire

Imagined all of Gaia
F#m                A    E           F#m
Took a journey into a child-man's heart
F#m
A painter on the shore

Imagined all the world
         Gb           F     
Within a snowflake on his palm
F#m
Unframed by poetry

A canvas of awe
F#m               A        E       F#m
Planet Earth falling back into the stars

F#m                      A
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
                             E
The innocence, the dreams of every man
                       Bm
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
                           F#m
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky
                     A
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
                          E
I am the story that will read you real
                      Bm
Every memory that you hold dear

F#m
I am the journey

I am the destination

I am the home
             Gb      F
The tale that reads you
F#m
A way to taste the night

The elusive high

Follow the madness
A        E        F#m
Alice you know once did
F#m           
Imaginarium, a dream emporium!

Caress the tales
             Gb         F
And they will dream you real
F#m
A storyteller's game

Lips that intoxicate

The core of all life
      A        E       F#m
Is a limitless chest of tales

F#m                      A
I am the voice of Never-Never-Land
                             E
The innocence, the dreams of every man
                       Bm
I am the empty crib of Peter Pan
                           F#m
A soaring kite against the blue, blue sky
                     A
Every chimney, every moonlit sight
                         E
I am the story that will read you real
                  Bm
Every memory that you hold dear
