Lyrics
In a wish that came true everything that I knew
it was all swept away
to reveal a new day
all the colors were new
and the flowers all grew
without fear, without pain, without shame, without blame like a lovely refrain
-Vocalise Interlude-
in your own fantasy
you decide what will be and the world comes to you just as you wish it to
and new colors will show
and new flowers will grow
without fear, without pain, without blame.....
