So wake up, sleepy one
It's time to save your worldSteal dreams and give to you
Shoplift a thought or two
All children touch the sun
Burn fingers one by one, by oneWill 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
Yeah, toy soldiers off to warBig 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 tearsWill 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
Yeah, toy soldiers off to warYou swing your rattle down
(Hand puppets storm the beach
Fire trucks trapped out of reach
Hand puppets storm the beach)Call to arms, the trumpets sound
(Fire trucks trapped out of reach
All clowns reinforce the rear
Slingshots fire into the air)Toy horses start the charge
(All clowns reinforce the rear
Slingshots fire into the air
Stuffed bears hold the hill till death
Crossfire from the marionettes)Robot chessmen standing guard
(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 now
Toy soldiers off to war
Off to war, off to warSo close your little eyes
