Main Chorus Lyrics[]

Come get carried away
Make a wish and it will lead you

Let's get carried away
Hold on tight, I'm right beside you

There's so much more to explore
So dream up, dream up, dream up

Dream up, dream up, dream up
Dream up, dream up, dream up

Dream up, dream up
And let's get carried away
Carried away
