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
I know
because I'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...
A/N: Well…I /thought/ there would only be one poem, but things change I guess. :-)
Just in case you're curious, this new poem/song has a rather interesting story behind it. A few nights ago 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...
So there you go! Hope you enjoyed this new installment! And oh yes…all the poems in this collection, including "Aslan You Are", will now officially be poem/songs. And yes, that means I'm putting all of them to music! Yay!
PS: Reviews are chocolate. And I loooooooove chocolate… ;-)
