0:00:36 > 0:00:40Before I wake up, I float through my dreams

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Imagining worlds never ending, it seems

0:00:44 > 0:00:48Before I wake up, I fly into the night

0:00:48 > 0:00:51I gaze at the stars and the moon shining bright

0:00:52 > 0:00:56In the blue meadow, I'm joined by my friend

0:00:56 > 0:01:00We travel together, in our world without end

0:01:00 > 0:01:05Together we fly, with arms stretched out wide

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Over the seas and leave our worries behind

0:01:10 > 0:01:14Before I wake up, we might face some storms

0:01:14 > 0:01:17But I won't be afraid, I'm safe in your arms

0:01:19 > 0:01:23We feel the wind, we hear the sea, we sing our song together

0:01:23 > 0:01:24We're strong

0:01:27 > 0:01:31Before I wake up, we sail through the seas

0:01:31 > 0:01:34Our boat rocking gently in the soft breeze

0:01:36 > 0:01:39I swim with the whales, I dive into the ocean

0:01:39 > 0:01:42I close my eyes, so full of emotion

0:01:50 > 0:01:54When I open my eyes, we're deep in a wood

0:01:54 > 0:01:57We follow the path, I feel so good

0:01:57 > 0:02:01We meet wild creatures, surrounded by trees

0:02:01 > 0:02:06They say "Happy to meet you, will you stay with us, please?"

0:02:06 > 0:02:09We play through the night, and I have to confess

0:02:09 > 0:02:13That I wish I could stay in this wilderness

0:02:13 > 0:02:18You make me feel safe, you are always near

0:02:18 > 0:02:21That's why I'm brave, without any fear

0:02:21 > 0:02:25But the time has come, as night fades away

0:02:25 > 0:02:28To leave our new friends, and welcome the day

0:02:30 > 0:02:33We run, faster and faster out of the night

0:02:33 > 0:02:37Through the red jungle, towards morning's light

0:02:38 > 0:02:42And when the day dawns, I stand close to my friend

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Goodbye for now, night has come to an end

0:02:48 > 0:02:51When I wake up, the sun kisses my skin

0:02:53 > 0:02:54It's a wonderful world

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Let the new day begin.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01What a magical adventure.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Those woodland creatures were a friendly bunch, weren't they?

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Now, it's time for you to have your own adventure.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13and shoot off to the stars.
