time for a story - wild rice lyrics

Loading...

here we are on a singapore night
a special time of day
the evening breeze, the amber lights
the heat has ebbed away
all the children of the island
gather round, starry-eyed
at the feet of their loving parents
for a lullaby

tuition teacher coming soon
better get your homework done!
psle coming soon
now is not the time for fun!
-ssessment book no need to do?
have you finished your revision?
gotta go to school tomorrow!
no time to be a child!

tell me a story, is that okay?
a story to take me far away
right from my bed, right through the window
over the hills, then over the rainbow
some place with magic, sun and sand
a never-say-never sort of land?
some place that’s far from 6am
when the school bus takes me to school again

here we are on a singapore night
and the children start to fade
knots in tummies, twisting tight
just thinking of another day

doing homework over breakfast
feeling tired by noon
gotta think about your future first
you’re gonna be a grown up soon!

tell us a story, is that okay?
something to keep the day away…
-ssessment books!
your piano scales!
last thing you want is to slip and fail!

some place with magic, sun and sand (don’t say i never hold your hand!)
a never-say-never sort of land (one day you’ll thank me)
over the hills and far away (one fine day)

here we are on a singapore night (almost time to go to sleep)
here we are on a singapore night (but we’ve got promises to keep)
here we are on a singapore night

one last dream before 6am
when the school bus takes me to school again

here’s a story! time to play!
a story to take you far away
right from your bed, right through the window
over the hills, then over the rainbow
some place with magic, sun, and sand
a never-say-never sort of land!

over the hills, and far away…

mermaids sing!
children fly!
adults are punished when they lie!
forests dance!
fairies call!
children rise up when they fall…!

and if you wish it hard enough
believe, and hope, and laugh
you’ll hear it too:
mermaids singin’, fairies callin’
children laughin’ as they fly
over the hills, and through the sky

here we are on a singapore night
tell us a story
here we are on a singapore night
time for a story…

a story…
a story…
