Music: Peter John Hobbs/Tim Rice It's a dream, but we're wide awake This is real, but I think it's fake I can see, but I'm still asleep I can fly, but I'm in the deep It's forever, but won't last long I'm awake, but I could be wrong There is a light, but my eyes are closed Yes, it's stranger than you supposed Stranger than you can suppose But that's how it always goes, how it always goes This is no ordinary journey To the shops or to your school It's an odyssey intended to be awe-inspiring Splendid, a voyage is the jewel This is the land of sometimes The land of now and then The now is always with us And then comes back again It's forever, but won't last long I'm awake, but I could be wrong There is a lie, but my eyes are closed Yes, it's stranger than you supposed This is the land of sometimes The land of now and then The now is always with us And then comes back again Where wishes and adventure are combined and slowly turned Into life itself and lessons that cannot be unlearned This is the land of sometimes The land of now and then The now is always with us And then comes back again The darkest moments lighten The happy moments earned This is the land of sometimes
