Chuck Mangione - Land of make believe - live instrumental (1978/hollywood bowl) lyrics

From the 1973 Live Album, Land of Make Believe Chuck Mangione Quartet with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra & Esther Satterfield, vocalist When you're feeling down and out Wondering what this world's about I know a place that has the answer It's a place where no one dies It's a land where no one cries And good vibrations always Greet you How I love when my thoughts run To the land of make believe Where everything is fun Forever Children always gather around Mother Goose and all her rhyme They fill the air with sounds Of laughter People dancing Their hearts are filled With all the reasons why You and I should learn the way Of the land of make believe And make this world of ours Much brighter [Mangione on flugelhorn solo] I once asked the Wizard of Oz For the secret of his land He said, "Just take a look around here Seven dwarves and Little Boy Blue Uncle Remus and Snow White, too (Now, just between us That's what's known as integration.) Jack and Jill are hard at work Helping children dream awhile And Snoopys making smiles For grown-ups All the elves are making toys They are rich with all the joys Of seeing happy kids At Christmas We are waiting To help you find The dream made just for you In a few words let's just say That in answer to your quiz Imagination is The secret. " [Saxophone solo] [Orchestra fugues a while] Hear the music of the band It was written in our land For what's a song but someone's Dream? In your world there was a King He once said, "I have a dream," Now there's a man who new The secret Dreams are really The thoughts that you Have hidden in your heart When you start a brand new day Let your heart show you the way And make a dream or two Come true How I love when my thoughts run To the land of make believe Where everything is fun Forever [Mangione]
