i lay 'neath the clouds on a calm spring day
wanting to leave a world that has nothing for me
i'm gonna cross the bridge and see if the stories are true
enter a world unknown, test the faith in my soul
and take a step in to magicland
i could be a prince there, or so i have read
i'll risk the wizards spell, prove my love to that girl
i could find a new world, deal with devil and saint
leave this world behind, use dreams to find my place
life looks better in magicland
there are places to go, hells gate and the clouds above
in the ice palace lives a wise-man of old
so many dangers but each is worth the risk
ghosts on the river defending a witch
life is an adventure in magicland
the spell was bound to strike as my kingdom fell
i don't wanna miss the chance to explore another world
we're all told stories of a different time and place
the harp is playing, there's a man at peace
let me enjoy the sounds of magicland
up above the treetops and dancing on the clouds
overlooking this fantastic world
it's all across the boarder, not far from where i lay
diamonds are a bonus to an adventurer's grave
with a heart so pure and a quest so inspired
saving love is like bottling time
so let me waste the hours in magicland
across rivers and waterfalls death i will face
i can pay him off, every fool wants the gold
the piper draws me near and i'll be leaving soon
for the days i have will be free and true
i'm never coming back from magicland
i look forward to adventure in this kingdom of crystals
in enchanted forests i'll meet dragons and trolls
i've heard tales of pirates visiting this land
seeking treasure from the castle in the sky
i'm living in a fairytale in magicland

tell me what news do you bring my fairytale dreamer
do you bring me tales of the flowers?
your enchanted eyes hold many dreams
and thoughts and wishes of hope and peace
i will travel many miles and sunsets
over mountains great and small
my weary feet will forever be walking
till i make my way to the shore of your heart
you could be the wizards angel
with beauty greater than the clear ocean
many men have danced for your hand
sunset wishes burn inside my soul
for all the journeys i'll set upon
none will have any greater reward
than to look deep inside your dreams
and cast away doubt from your mind
carefully through the forest i'll tread
over whispering rivers i'll shall cross
birds will call from the depths of the sky
but i know the path i must take
i'm sure to pass through never-ending tales
under sunsets from a book of old
my footsteps leave no trail in the mist
the only direction is the road ahead
through the nights i will keep on walking
i will let the moon guide me to you
upon the stars i will cast my wishes
and hope that the dawn grants them true
when i arrive at your castle
i will play a song to sooth your soul
i will forever be your minstrel
in the land of fairytale
