A million white flowers in a field in the sky<br />
Seemed to spell out a greeting as the children flew by<br />
A guard in a chariot of silver and gold<br />
Gave the children all tickets, then the story he told<br />
Of a time in the future that was sunshine and flowers<br />
And the children grew sleepy in the sky's white towers<br />
They dreamed of the story that the guard had displayed<br />
They saw all the wonders, tiny minds were amazed<br />
They saw candy forests and dragons that breathed fire<br />
On all that was evil in the misty mire<br />
<br />
They came to the village where the turtles in caves<br />
Made pies for the people and the lemonade<br />
The people lived out by the sea and each day<br />
The seagulls would wake them as they passed on their way<br />
The people were kindly, they would sing to the sky<br />
And each bright new morning, the sun shone from their eyes<br />
The children passed over and all the people could see<br />
As they dived from the sky to the treacle sea<br />
They bathed on the white sand, minutes turned into hours<br />
And the children all giggled and gave each other flowers<br />
<br />
The King from his castle came down to the sea<br />
And he spoke to the children so patiently<br />
He gave them small presents and bid them farewell<br />
And the children unwrapped them, tiny silver bells<br />
Their tinkling floated across the island with ease<br />
And it came back toward them on the perfume breeze<br />
They smiled at the tinkling, they gazed at the sun<br />
And they smiled at each other, pretty little ones<br />
A beautiful white horse came down to the sea<br />
And the children all climbed up as he knelt on one knee<br />
<br />
They rode through the valleys and high over hills<br />
And they laughed oh so loudly, their fear to kill<br />
They came to a lakeside of deep velvet and green<br />
And they all stared in wonder at its beauty serene<br />
They climbed from the white horse, they watch as it goes<br />
As they stood by the green lake for to kiss their toes<br />
A boat in the distance was suddenly there<br />
Waiting to take the children to anywhere<br />
The porcupine captain said that he didn't mind<br />
In his coat of black needles, he looked very kind<br />
<br />
His crew were six rabbits with fluffy white ears<br />
And the children all stroked them and lost all their fears<br />
They sailed through the sunshine, across the green lake<br />
And they drank lemonade and they ate ice-cream cake<br />
They landed in a dark cave as the boat disappeared<br />
And they all stood in darkness, through the shadows they peered<br />
But out of the blackness shone diamonds so bright<br />
Their tiny white hands shielded eyes from the light<br />
In a pool of quicksilver stood Neptune so wise<br />
And pearls were his white teeth, bright diamonds his eyes<br />
<br />
He spoke to the children in a voice of velvet<br />
And he beckoned them to him, in a circle they sat<br />
He told of sky island and of his magic cave<br />
And magic pink seashells to the children he gave<br />
They listened intently as the music came far<br />
From the magic pink seashells and nobody talked<br />
But Neptune had vanished when they lifted their eyes<br />
So they walked from the cave as two kingfishers cried<br />
In the bright shiny sunlight, they got down on one knee<br />
They listened to the sea shells of the magical sea<br />
<br />
But the day grew much darker, so they climbed on the breeze<br />
And they floated to the village, and the people were pleased<br />
To see them so happy with their tinkling bells<br />
And the people all listened to the musical shells<br />
But the children were so sad, the time had come to leave<br />
So the people waved goodbye and begged them to believe<br />
Of the wonders they had seen in the island of the sky<br />
And the children said they would and away they did fly<br />
Through the white clouds of no time till forever it seems<br />
And the children stayed children and they lived in their dreams
