Lyrics
Land of Roo
V1
When I was a kid the world was brand new
There was magic in all of the things that I'd do
Old cardboard boxes and left over strings
Would build me a castle suited for Kings
I sailed the sea in a make believe boat
Dressed as a pirate in dad's overcoat
Fought that ol' dragon with mom's wooden spoon
And rode through the clouds holding my green balloon
Chorus
When I ruled the land of Roo
Everything there that I wished for came true
What I imagined was what I could do
When I ruled the land of Roo
V2
My golden eagle, he would fly me to stars
Faster than rockets blast you to Mars
Late night adventures when lights would go out
Fun little creatures all running about
Chorus
When I ruled the land of Roo
Everything there that I wished for came true
What I imagined was what I could do
When I ruled the land of Roo
Bridge
The pencil marks there on my bedroom door
Measured just how fast I grew
I don't remember too much anymore
They never say when I left Roo
Instrumental
Breakdown Verse:
Days of a child fell to the lawn
One by one dropping 'til innocence gone
But I know that somewhere I left a clue
To find my way back to Roo
Out Chorus
When I ruled the land of Roo
Everything there that I wished for came true
What I imagined was what I could do
When I ruled the land of Roo
