Worlds Beyond Our Own

Worlds Beyond Our Own

(Would You Believe?)

Would you believe me if I told you there's a world beyond our own?

A place of wonderment and magic

Where there are dragons and enchantments?

Suppose I told you there's a land of walking trees and talking beasts

And all the sorts of things you'd find in fairy tales

Would you believe me if I said that things aren't always as they seem?

That any door could be a way

Into a new and brighter day?

What if I told you I had been there, in that world beyond our own?

Where every day's a new adventure

And friendship never fails...

Where any boy could be a king, Magnificent and Just

Where any girl could be a Gentle, Valiant queen

Where extraordinary things are done by ordinary people

Where castles gleam, and stars can sing…

Would you believe me if I told you there are worlds beyond our own

And a place that’s in between them?

We know because we’ve seen them

Suppose I told you there’s a place where myths and legends come to life

Where a Lion’s song created all good things

Would you believe me if I said that things aren’t always as they seem?

‘Round any corner, there could be

A whole new world for us to see

What if I said that I’d been somewhere in a world beyond our own

Where possibilities are endless

And faith can give you wings...

Where any boy could be a king, Magnificent and Just

Where any girl could be a Gentle, Valiant queen

Where extraordinary things are done by ordinary people

Where castles gleam, and stars can sing…

Would you believe me if I told you there are worlds beyond our own…

Worlds beyond our own…

Author’s Note: Just in case you're curious, this poem/song has a rather interesting story behind it. Recently I had a dream. I dreamed that I was watching this really, REALLY bad Narnia musical, and they were in the middle of a really, really bad number...when suddenly, this famous composer-person came up and LITTERALLY kicked everyone else off the stage. After doing that, he took up a baton, cued up the orchestra, and started composing/conducting a symphony on the spot. The cool thing was that it wasn't just any symphony...it was like exploring the world of Narnia through music! It went through all the famous places...Lantern Waste, Cair Paravel, the Dancing Lawn, the Lone Islands...it even went through Archenland and Calormene! A whole journey through Narnia...in music. It was flat out AMAZING. I keep wishing I could go back to sleep and dream it all over again. (Seriously...I would do ANYTHING to go see something like that in real life.)

Anyways, this poem/song is from the dream that I had. Almost all the words in the first verse are exactly the way I heard them in my dream. The rest I made up myself, but still...I've never done anything like that before. It was so cool... :-)
