The train to your kingdom
You’re waiting on this lovely station
for that little train to your kingdom
running away from those big expectations.
My dear, you'll find the keys to rejoice,
and the answer to your fears in your kingdom.
That lovely little paper crown on your head,
you’re waiting for the train to your kingdom
where nobody’s dead
and where magic still exists.
Come on, give me that little gun
and jump on the train to your kingdom.
Forgive us for what we’ve done,
took away your freedom
and your fantasy
to put in the system.
Go, jump on that little train
and leave behind all the pain.
In your kingdom, you can have big dreams,
there you don’t feel those little broken hearts.
Don’t wait for me,
don’t save me a seat.
Please, jump on the train to your kingdom,
where don’t have a system to defeat.
Don’t you see?
I’m not free,
a part of the process of elimination.
I lost my childish mind,
I lost my imagination.
Come on, give me that little gun
and jump on the train to your kingdom.
Forgive us for what we’ve done,
took away your freedom
and your fantasy
to put in the system.
There’s nothing I can do to protect you,
so please go and jump on that lovely little train.
They’re coming, wanting your mind to renew.
Have fun,
rejoice,
count the flowers one by one,
sing in your lovely voice
in your kingdom
and forgive us for what we’ve done.
Come on, give me that little gun
and jump on the train to your kingdom.
Forgive us for what we’ve done,
took away your freedom
and your fantasy
to put in the system.
