So wake up, sleepy one It's time to save your world
Steal dreams and give to you Shoplift a thought or two All children touch the sun Burn fingers one by one, by one
Will this earth be good to you? Keep you clean or stain through?
So wake up, sleepy one It's time to save your world You're where the wild things are Toy soldiers off to war
Big eyes to open soon Believing all under sun and moon But does heaven know you're here? And did they give you smiles or tears? No, no tears
Will this earth be good to you? Keep you clean or stain through?
So wake up, sleepy one It's time to save your world You're where the wild things are Toy soldiers off to war
You swing your rattle down Call to arms, the trumpets sound Toy horses start the charge Robot chessmen standing guard
Hand puppets storm the beach Fire trucks trapped out of reach Hand puppets storm the beach Fire trucks trapped out of reach All clowns reinforce the rear Slingshots fire into the air All clowns reinforce the rear Slingshots fire into the air Stuffed bears hold the hill till death Crossfire from the marionettes Stuffed bears hold the hill till death Crossfire from the marionettes We shall never surrender
All you children touch the sun Burn your fingers one by one Will this earth be good to you? Keep you clean or stain through?
So wake up, sleepy one It's time to save your world You're where the wild things are Toy soldiers off to war Off to war Off to war
So close your little eyes
