[Barrie:] I see it all around us In every single color And every dimension Crowns the reinvention
And if it is black Then it's white And when it is dark Then it's light So fill in all the spaces With imaginary places
It's so frustrating When no one else sees Everything you see So for now it is just an illusion, confusion Unless you're someone who believes
When you look Tell me what do you see? [Peter:] Just a dog in a park
[Barrie:] Is it real? Is it fiction Only make believe? You act like you really don't care
[Peter:] Look with your eyes
[Barrie:] But I look with your eyes He's a great Russian bear
And he's dancing and prancing And bowing politely He plays to full houses once daily Twice nightly Prefix "ordinary" with "extra" you'll see Believe, believe, believe
[Barrie (Peter):] I don't need rose-tinted spectacles (A dog, a rock, a bench, a bone) Just to see the fundamentals (A twig, a stick, a can, a stone)
[Barrie:] I only see the bright lights
[Peter:] A cloudy sky
[Sylvia:] The sunset and the sunrise
[Peter:] Don't lie
[Barrie:] And if it is weak
[George:] Then it's strong!
[Peter:] It's not strong!
[Barrie:] And just when it's right
[Jack:] Then it's wrong!
[Peter:] It's not wrong!
[Barrie, Sylvia, George, Jack & Michael:] And everything my eyes see
[Peter:] Everything my eyes see
[Barrie, Sylvia & 3 Boys:] Is nothing like it should be
[Peter:] Is only like it should be
[Barrie, Sylvia & 3 Boys:] It's so frustrating When no one else sees Everything you see So for now it is just an illusion, confusion
[Barrie, Sylvia, 3 Boys & Ensemble (Sylvia):] Unless you're someone who believes When you look Tell me what do you see (You can believe!) Is it real? Is it fiction Only make believe?
You may think we're safe on the path (You must believe) But the grass is the water that's rising too fast
[Sylvia:] And now Kensington park Is the biggest lagoon [Barrie:] And this bench is a rock [All:] And we're all marooned here Hear the mermaids sing their beautiful song!
[All:] When you look Tell me what do you see? You can believe Is it real? Or a mystery scientifically?
It's more than a bench in the park You must believe Look again It's rocket that's headed for Mars On a mission to search for new life
When we'll be back who knows 'Cause it's really a long flight
Turn the whole world upside down And you'll see Believe, believe, believe
(Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Barrie & (All):] With just imagination (Ha, ha, ha) And creative speculation (Ha, ha, ha) Our life's calling Was never meant to be boring
