Lyrics
Jiminy
Written by: Shannon Lee
A MAGICAL STORY ?BOUT A PUPPET ON A STRING
WITH A TINY CRICKET FRIEND TO HELP HIM FIND HIS WINGS
A FRIGHTENING WORLD OF SHADOWS OUT THERE TO EXPLORE
TOGETHER THEY WENT FORTH TO CONQUER ALL LIFE?S PROBLEMS
REFRAIN
JIMINY
WHERE?VE YOU GONE TO?
JIMINY
WHERE?VE YOU GONE TO?
I WISH I HAD A FRIEND LIKE YOU
TO SIT ON MY SHOULDER AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO
JIMINY
I THINK I NEED YOU
JIMINY
WHERE?VE YOU GONE TO?
MY OWN CONUNDRUM TEARS ME UP INSIDE
THE TWO PATHS SET BEFORE ME BECKON ME TO DECIDE
A CONSCIENCE-NUMBING PASSION, FORBIDDEN TO IMBIBE
SO HERE I STAND BEFORE YOU
TO SWALLOW ALL MY PRIDE
REFRAIN
BRIDGE
BUT THE STORY ISN?T OVER
SOON THERE?LL BE TIME FOR JOY
?CAUSE ONE DAY SOON THAT PUPPET ON A STRING
TURNS HIMSELF INTO A REAL BOY!
REFRAIN
