Verse 1
Wake from a dream, vivid as I remember you,
Born from the realm of a slow, sequined scene.
Shimmering by, try to change up my point of view.
Picked up to vanish, never heard, nor seen.
I wouldn't know where to begin,
I really can't be sure.
I wouldn't place the world on a pin
Unless I know that its secure.
Chorus
There is a light, it will shine
A thousand years,
As long as we've got
Floating expectations.
It is a crystal from a higher guard
Dressed in marigold,
It's a shrine to ones you love.
Verse 2
And with a smile saying all parts were good as new,
The good doctor returned the machine.
Make sure to dust off any grease, slime or residue,
It is important to keep the thing clean.
Getting back onto the wing
And preparing us to fly.
Mrs. Trinket's kingfisher sings as
Our machine took to the sky.
Chorus
There is a light, it will shine
A thousand years,
As long as we've got
Floating expectations.
It is a crystal from a higher guard
Dressed in marigold,
It's a shrine to ones you love.
The ones you love.
