Lyrics:

Long time ago I had a dream
All about a magic zoo
And the animals that lived there
Were in love like me and you
In the dream I wandered slowly
In-between each magic cage
And the animals looked happy
As they played their silly games
As the dream unwrapped around me
I could see their colours clear
As the minutes split to seconds
I found you were standing near
So we wandered through the happy
Of the little magic zoo
And the animals were quiet
As they stared at me and you
As the sun rose, we bought ice cream
But we couldn't eat it all
So we gave it to the animals
To keep them, very cool
Their happy laughter filled our ears
And it made us happy too
The animals were beautiful
In their yellows, reds and blues

But in shadows of their victory
We did find a silent cage
And the animal that lived there
Didn't seem to want to play
We looked between the rusty bars
Through the darkness of the cage
And suddenly we saw the sad as the feathered tiger lay
We found a key, unlocked the bars
Of the feathered tiger's cell
And with words of kindness begged him
His story to us would tell
But he was so very scared
He said we would laugh at him
So we led him to the sunshine
And played games but let him win
We all played amongst the colours
In the little magic zoo
And soon he was much happier, and we both loved him too
But the evening drew in swiftly
And the feathered tiger cried
He was sad because we had to leave
And the sun slipped from the sky
But we told him to act bravely
And to never feel unclean
He was the only feathered tiger
That we both had ever seen
We told him, only be yourself
You don't really want to change
To be yourself is beautiful
To be someone else is strange
The feathered tiger disappeared
And so did my magic zoo
And as I opened up my eyes
There was nothing else but you
