Lyrics [ ]
Tina (episode version):
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
Kurt:
Come with me and you'll be
In a world of pure imagination
Finn:
Take a look and you'll see
Into your imagination
Tina:
We'll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
Artie:
What we'll see will defy explanation
Tina (with New Directions):
(If you wanna view paradise)
Simply look around and view it
(Anything you want to, do it)
(Want to change the world?)
There's nothing to it
Kurt:
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Finn:
Living there, you'll be free
Finn and Kurt:
If you truly wish to be
Kurt with New Directions:
If you wanna view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to do it
Want to change the world?
Kurt:
There's nothing to it
Tina:
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Kurt:
Living there, you'll be free
If you truly
Finn and Kurt:
Wish to be
