DAYDREAMS

On a bank by a stream
A girl named Alice starts to dream
She does not listen to her sister read from a book of verses,
She does not heed.

Oh — Alice! Better pay attention!
Alice! Better wake up today!

Daydreams sneak up on you when you least expect them to
And carry you away

There’s not enough pictures in the book to keep her attention,
She does not look
Between the sound of the water and her sister’s voice, she let’s her mind wander,
That is her choice

Oh — Alice, you better pay attention!
Alice, you better wake up today!

‘Cause daydreams sneak up on you when you least expect them to
And carry you away

Daydreams can be dangerous, you can lose control
You can wind up on a cloud—

Or down a rabbit hole
