lyrics

I dreamed about falling through magical wardrobes
Of crossing the universe by wrinkling time
Of shoes I could use to cross deadly deserts
Of walking in wonder in fractal designs

I’d talk to the mirror and whisper my secrets
Call on my image by character names
Look for a like mind in the world of reflections
My door to that world never came

And I dreamed of a world where we shared the same dream
And we all were there on the same team
Where we all were aware and we cared and all sang the same theme

I’d say “This is the way”
And “May the force be with you”
Raise a Vulcan salute
“Wakanda Forever!”
“Avengers Assemble!”
“Does not compute”
“Live long and prosper”
“Be excellent to each other”
“Do or do not. There is no try”
“So say we all”

Then I found a whole world where they like the same movies
And everyone there seems to talk just like me
I don’t have to translate the words I believe in
They know what I mean and they happily agree





They all know my fandoms and quote from them freely
Sometimes it feels like we all share the same brain
We chorus the phrases we secretly cherished
And say them again and again and again

And I dreamed of a world where we shared the same dream
And we all were there on the same team
Where we all were aware and we cared and all sang the same theme

I sang “This is the way”
And “May the force be with you”
Raised an Orkan salute
I said, “Make it so!”
“The truth is out there”
“Shazbot” and “Nanu nanu”
“Live long and prosper”
“Never give up, never surrender”
“By Grabthar Hammer, you shall be avenged!”
“So say we all”

And we dream of a world where we share the same dream
And we all are there on the same team
Where we all are aware and we care and all sing the same theme

We sing “This is the way”
And “May the force be with you”
Raise a three-fingered salute
“As you wish”
“Don’t panic!”
“I volunteer as tribute”
“Live long and prosper”
“Be excellent to each other”
“To infinity and beyond!”
“So say we all”
“Have fun storming the castle”
“So say we all”
