As a child with ocean eyes I smiled

At a world existing just for me ;

Without boxes, borders or boundaries

I built dreams ;

But like plastic building blocks

They were knocked down the ground

I grew up

To a world of compromise

Analysing what it means to dream

I don't really wanna understand

Everything in my world

It spoils the fun for me

Come on darling you can take my hand

Blowing kisses in the wind

We'll fly away in our dreams

From the boxes they'll put us in

Who shall we propose to be ?

Who am I supposed to be ?

With these empty building blocks

I could make a thousand me's

I don't really wanna understand

Everything in my world

It spoils the fun for me

Come on darling you can take my hand

Blowing kisses in the wind

We'll fly away in our dreams

From the boxes they'll put us in

And I'm told we all fit in

But why should I belong to one thing ?

Who shall we propose to be ?

Who I am supposed to be ?

With these plastic building blocks

I could make a thousand me's

I don't really wanna understand

Everything in my world

It spoils the fun for me

Come on darling you can take my hand

Blowing kisses in the wind

We'll fly away in our dreams

From the boxes they'll put us in.
