Once upon a time, there was a world so far away
Where the people never listened to what others had to say
Tucked inside this world, there was a girl who liked to play
But never could, 'Cause nobody understood
Where she got the inspiration to have imagination
In a world where it all left them years ago
But still, she keeps her patience, despite everything she's facing
'Cause she knows she's not alone
Once there was a boy in the same world with no joy
Yet the boy, he just kept holding onto hope
The hope someday he'd find a way to leave this world behind
But he doesn't want to leave it on his own
He just wishes he could see a brand new world where folks believed
But his world left that behind so long ago
But still, he likes to dream of things that others just can't see
'Cause he doesn't know he's not alone

Once upon a dream that was as real as one could be
The little boy was sitting right on top a hill
And the girl walked to this tree where she thought something would be
But it was empty and she thought this world was real
Yet the girl just kept on walking, hoping someone'd hear her talking
Then she heard a voice call out that made her stop
It was coming from the hill, so she ran and ran and ran until
She finally reached the boy right at the top (Aww, hey!)
They talked about so many things that no one else could ever see
Cause nobody was thinking as they should
Everybody thought they spoke of lies
They've been ignored for all their lived
But now they've found someone who understood
They took each other by the hand and looked out at their newfoundland
And promised that they'd never ever leave
But they both drifted back asleep
The memory of it buried deep
But deep deep down I know they still believe
'Cause they both woke up back in their world
He's just a boy, she's just a girl
Who were the only ones who seemed to see
That something out there does exist
A world they oh so deeply missed
Where everything was just bursting with glee
But nobody believes their eyes
And once again, they're full of lies
And everybody thinks they're on their own
But every night, the boy and girl
They sleep and wake up in their world
And they know they're not alone
