Santa Claus is real,
I don’t care what others say
How else could there be presents
When you wake on Christmas Day?
The tooth fairy, I know her well,
The Easter bunny is my friend
She trades your infant ivory
For hard cash, that you will spend.
Grandma says that dragons don’t exist,
Elves and fairies, they’re unreal
I’m begging you, don’t listen
It’s your dream she’s trying to steal.
It’s not that she doesn’t love you,
She worships you I know
But she wants to see you grow up
Before it is time for her to go.
She’s never seen a unicorn at play,
Not a troll or fiendish ghoul.
She never would admit it now
But she knows she was a fool.
So don’t you make that same mistake
Hold on for as long as you can
To Superman and Scooby Doo,
Captain Hook and Peter Pan.
These things that make you happy
When your imagination runs wild,
This is how it should always be
Never lose that inner child.
For there is a price to growing up,
And I don’t want you to count the cost,
When the magic disappears
And your innocence is lost.
