The Kingdom of Make Believe Has Fallen



The kingdom of make believe has fallen,
The magic is no more.
The fairies have all flown away,
And the elves have closed their door.

The trees no longer sing,
The flowers no longer dance.
The sun has lost its smile,
And the moon is filled with trance.

The world is a dark and dreary place,
Without the joy of make believe.
I long for the days gone by,
When dreams came true and anything was possible.

But now that the kingdom has fallen,
I must find a way to move on.
I must find a way to find joy,
Even in this dark and dreary world.

I know that it won't be easy,
But I'm determined to try.
I know that somewhere,
There is still magic to be found.
