lyrics

Let the special animals I told you about show you the way,
they'll lead you through the trackless woodland
and leave you in the hidden meadow deep in the forest
where you'll have to sit and wait for a while.

Soon you'll hear the heavy tread and snuffling
which tells of the approach
of what's to be your guide for the next phase.
Try not to be alarmed at its appearance and manor
after all, soon you'll be meeting
much, much, much stranger things.

Listen to your guide and it will teach you
the things you'll have to know
to prepare for the permanent
physical transformation
required for admission
to the Wondrous Land to come!

Let's go to the Marvelous Land
gimme your oops I almost said your hand
it's gonna be really fabulous
first you'll have to wait in the meadow a while.

While you wait in the summery meadow
you'll have plenty of time to stroll about
the architectural folly, and admire the obelisk
which is older than the very stone
from out of which it's carven.

Yes...I see...this architectural folly is...quite nice...
and this obelisk...oh, that funny noise...and...remarkable odor...
that would be my guide coming! Oh how unspeakably wonderful!
Even...marvelous!

Let's go to the Marvelous Land
as the name implies it's really fine
gonna be really fine
scientists have never heard of it yet

The Marvelous Land The Marvelous Land
gimme your oops I almost said your hand
it's gonna be so fine
("Yes it's FINE!")

Only just learned of ‘Singin’ to God’ and have been listening to it on repeat - alternating with Tim Smith’s original - every day for the last week. What a beautiful tribute to him and so brilliantly executed. Hats off to all involved in this breathtaking recreation. A real achievement. thsmusic
