A journey of a thousand miles begins with a step.
Where all bad memories are forgotten.
A place like Narnia, where you could get away to escape.
To mess around and have fun.

Where the birds swim in the water,
and the fish fly in the air.
Pirate ships and sail boats are like hot air balloons.
You ride horses with huge butterfly nets to catch fish.

The clouds are like floating cotton candy.
Every day a new journey begins.
And it all just starts
With that hard first step.
