A Book Will Take You There
words by Phil Cummings
music by Glyn Lehmann
Verse 1
Grip the handle of the library door
Enter a galaxy of worlds to explore
Make a choice, sit on the floor…
And imagine if you dare
A book will take you there
Verse 2
When the wind blows on winter’s nights
Tug at the blankets, snuggle up tight
Click the switch, turn on the light…
And imagine if you dare
A book will take you there
Bridge 1
Imagine a place, a character, a time
March to the rhythm of a rollicking rhyme
Imagine a journey, a street, a home
A life so different from your own
And imagine if you dare
A book will take you there
Bridge 2
Laugh, discover, listen, share
Learn, understand, imagine, care
Repeat Bridge 1 and 2 simultaneously (2 parts)
Verse 1 reprise
Grip the handle of the library door
Enter a galaxy of worlds to explore
Make a choice, sit on the floor…
And imagine if you dare
A book will take you there
Outro
A book will take you there
