David, bend your mind

With tales of castles in the sky

And oceans made of lemon pies

And all the things you know he'd like to try

He says when he grows up he's bound to be a king

And makes himself a magic king with just a piece of string

Whoa, David knows what David sees

And David goes where David pleases

'Cause make-believe is reality to a child

David's touched the moon

And been around the world, suspended by balloons

And keeps a piece of sunlight hidden in his room

He hopes he's gonna slay a dragon someday soon

He says there's lots of boys to play with up on Mars

Shoot marbles in the Milky Way and trade off baseball cards

Oh, David knows what David sees

And David goes where David pleases

'Cause make-believe is reality to a child

Visions of reality

That David just like you and me

Life is but a fantasy

If you will let it be

Whoa, let it be, whoa

David knows what David sees

And David goes where David pleases

'Cause make-believe is reality to a child

To a child

To a child
