The Amazing Toymaker Songtext
von Winterage

"Once upon a time,
Among the historical streets of an ancient village,
A little corner of dreams.
There, the magic of fantasy
Took the shape of an old gentleman,
He wore very colorful clothes
And a light heart;
His work was to craft happiness:
He was a toymaker.
Wooden marionettes, talking puppets
And musical carousels,
What he sold were little objects
Which were nothing but fragments of dreams.
The toys were very well packed
With sugary colors, But what mattered was their purpose:
Through these objects the Amazing Toymaker
Wanted to bring back to life
The mad and artistic instinct
In the people′s heart,
The one they forgot behind the gray walls of their minds.
As a tempera drop expands in the water
And paints all the glass,
Through his toys he wanted to plant the seed of imagination
Inside the heart of his guests,
From the youngest to the oldest,
And to show them the incredible world
Which only exists
Inside of us."


Wandering in dark dimensions
Black from the depth
The old muse has now lost her sight
Without any rule or right
The Great Nothing reigns
O'er the minds of this world
And the wishes of soul

Not all the fairydust
Has been blown away
But the sailing ship′s anchored on earth
The gatherer of all emotions
Will give a show,
By an artistic blaze
You'll be a child again!

Leave the weight of your lives
Heavy chains of mind
There's a world inside of us
Kaleidoscope of light and might
Oh, everyone of us
Has got a hidden pair of wings
Come with me, if you dream you will fly!

"Well, well, well. What have we here?
Let′s have some fun, shall we?
So, lend me your ears and let me guide you inside
The most marvelous tales... haha!"

Hey toys wake up the night has come,
That is cold will now be alive
Believe us this is not a dream

"So, everybody, we have guests,
It′s time to wake up!"

I am the sweet doll made of rag
I am the jester always mad
I am the pumpkin with the smile
I dropped my brain!
I sell my candies everyday
The snow is falling above my head
The night is life,
Let's enjoy the show together!

Has someone seen my golden tooth?
My wooden nose is growing up!
With my song you will fall in love
So, sing with her!
I am the nightmare in our head
I′m Jack the king of pumpkins' realm
It′s Christmas time!
Will you join us in this ritual? Ha!

I'll love the opera ′till I die
I am the screamer of the town
I am the voice of your conscience
Ahhhh go away!
This apple has a horrid taste
Good boy, do you want a red balloon?
Oh, yes, I do!
Go, run, far away from that clown!

I'm waiting for my charming prince
I am the rabbit... oh, it's too late!
I am the lord of Neverland
Hey you! Hands up!
Where will this yellow brick road lead?
Alice do you want a cup of tea?
Maybe that pie!
Welcome to the Toymaker′s shop!

Magic is real in this world
She′s only sleeping inside of you
Hidden in all the small things,
She'll change your life forever!
"The most beautiful things in the world
Cannot be seen or touched,
They′re only felt with the heart"
This comes from amazing stories
Our life's a universe of
Puppets and jumping jesters
All of that is hidden in you
Don′t be ashamed to act your part in it

What the hell are you doing there,
Leave your fears, your when and where,
You are pale, you have no breath,
Your life will lead you to death!
Underneath!
Don't you hate monotony?
Why do you live that agony?
Be the brave who rides his life
Take your chance to win the strife!
Unleash your inner light and live,
Run, fly, free to be yourself.

Benvenuti, miei graditi
Trallallà
Ma qual broncio,
Dond′è 'l sconcio,
Ancor stupor?

Nessun pegno
Pel mio regno
Venghino
Se nel circo entrar vorrai,
L'io dimenticar dovrai!

The magic of the toymaker
Now fills our hearts
That tear from your adult eye′s the proof
A new gaze upon the world
Is born inside of you
Do you want to be part
Of the army of dreams?

An extraordinary world resides
In our real
Matter will its essence
Most intangible reveal
The weft of beauty is glowing
From the structure of our world
And the greatness of love is spreading
And nature is chanting untamed
The primordial divine might

"You have to know...
Some of us are looking for magic in our lives.
I am in this world for them,
I create my toys for them, because I love them all.
I have the gift to feel that infinite source of beauty,
Hidden in the depth of our essence;
Wonderful flows of shining lymph
Come from the ground into my veins and soul,
And through my hands I can bring the magic in this world.
My hope is to gift a little smile or a sweet tear, who knows!
I want to reveal a secret to you, my dear:
The colors, the perfumes, a melody,
Some circumstances or a tiny toy like this one,
All this repertoire of little things, if truly loved,
Can give birth to new amazing worlds,
And when it happens it is a magnificent thing:
Those feelings have an endless power!
It rises from the Pureness of Everything,
Something that no one has ever seen
And no one will ever touch;
You can only perceive it inside of you,
But it exists, believe me!
A divine harmony lives hidden inside of the human being
From the beginning of Time
And it preserves the real and pure Essence of the Universe.
You have its inheritance, believe in it,
And one day the world will be a marvelous place."
