Worlds of Wonder (A “Calvin & Hobbes” Song)

Sneakers pounding through the grass,

Rocket ships are built to last,

Cardboard box, we’re blasting off,

To the stars where dreams get lost.

Tiger by my side, eyes fierce and wide,

In this world, we rule the skies,

Monsters in the woods, snowmen come alive,

Every day’s a battle cry.

Gravity’s just a state of mind,

Close your eyes, we’re leaving time,

Space and dinosaurs collide,

Hold on tight, let’s take that ride.

Calvin, Hobbes, let’s run away,

Where the cosmos bends and the planets sway,

Imaginary worlds where we’re kings of the day,

In our own little world, where we play, where we play.

Where we play — where we play,

Cardboard rockets, skies of gray,

Lost in worlds we paint each day,

Where we play — where we play.

Sledding down a hill of dreams,

Philosophy at seven seems,

To bend and break like paper planes,

Questioning the rules of games.

Stargazing at the moonlit night,

Pondering if life’s alright,

With Hobbes beside me, paw in hand,

A tiger and a boy will stand.

Gravity’s just a state of mind,

Close your eyes, we’re leaving time,

Space and dinosaurs collide,

Hold on tight, let’s take that ride.

Calvin, Hobbes, let’s run away,

Where the cosmos bends and the planets sway,

Imaginary worlds where we’re kings of the day,

In our own little world, where we play, where we play.

Every snowball fight, every great escape,

Every lesson learned in a tiger’s gaze,

We’re explorers in a world of clay,

Where grown-up rules just melt away.

Where we play — where we play,

Cardboard rockets, skies of gray,

Lost in worlds we paint each day,

Where we play — where we play.

And when the sun sets and the stars fade out,

We’ll still be here, there’s no doubt,

A boy and a tiger, forever unbound,

In the world of wonder we found.
