Awake in bed at night Way back when I was 4 Imagining the adventures And world I would explore

The dangers I would get in The treacherous seas I’d sail The deepest caves I’d wonder The mountains I would scale

I would be a pirate The captain of the sea Renowned and feared I would possess The biggest gold bounty

I would be a ninja Assassin of the night Roof to roof I’d jump and sleigh Invisible to sight

I would be a scuba And under I would dive Uncovering sea monster I’d capture them alive

I would lead a party The jungle we would trek Tigers, panthers, elephants And grass up to our necks

No matter where you go Safari, cave or sea Oh treacherous, treacherous, treacherous land Adventure waits for thee
