Long time ago I had a dream all about a magic zoo 
And the animals that lived there were in love like me and you 
In the dream I wandered slowly in-between each magic cage 
And the animals looked happy as they played their silly games 
As the dream unwrapped around me, I could see their colours clear 
As the minutes split to seconds, I found you were standing near 

So we wandered through the happy of the little magic zoo 
And the animals were quiet as they stared at me and you 
As the sun rose we bought ice cream but we couldn't eat it all 
So we gave it to the animals to keep them very cool 
Their happy laughter filled our ears and it made us happy too 
The animals were beautiful in their yellows, reds and blues 

But in shadows of their victory, we did find a silent cage 
And the animal that lived there didn't seem to want to play 
We looked between the rusty bars through the darkness of the cage 
And suddenly we saw the sad as the feathered tiger lay 
We found a key, unlocked the bars of the feathered tiger's cell 
And with words of kindness begged him his story to us would tell 

But he was so very scared, he said we would laugh at him 
So we led him to the sunshine and played games but let him win 
We all played amongst the colours in the little magic zoo 
And soon he was much happier and we both loved him too 
But the evening drew in swiftly and the feathered tiger cried 
He was sad because we had to leave and the sun slipped from the sky 

But we told him to act bravely and to never feel unclean 
He was the only feathered tiger that we both had ever seen 
We told him, “Only be yourself, you don’t really want to change 
To be yourself is beautiful, to be someone else is strange” 
The feathered tiger disappeared and so did my magic zoo 
And as I opened up my eyes, there was nothing else but you
