Ferdinand's Impossible Dreams

He woke up one night and it was still there
He had no idea just how to care
For something so immense
Or how to explain it to all of his friends

It sat there without a single word
Letting poor Ferdinand attempt
To decide what it was
That should be done with it

The Hippo of Ferdinand's Impossible Dreams
Flies on to places we don't know
And no one else can see
The next stop is Ferdinand's Impossible Dreams
So hold on
We'll get there soon enough
And you will never believe your eyes

The next day it followed him to school
Eating everything in its path
Causing quite a mess and disrupting the rest of the class

The principal said to Ferdinand
Do you want to talk about this
He said I just don't know what can be done with it

The Hippo of Ferdinand's Impossible Dreams
Flies on to places we don't know
And no one else can see
The next stop is Ferdinand's Impossible Dreams
So hold on
We'll get there soon enough
And you will never believe

Ferdinand how did you get so far away?
So far away
Ferdinand why won't you come out to play?
So far away
Wide awake but dreaming so far away

He woke up one night and it was still there.
