I’ve got a perfect puzzle for you
A concept used to describe a mode of rationality or way of thinking that looks to invisible forces to influence events, effect change in material conditions, or present the illusion of change.
From all over the globe,
people have gathered here waiting for the hour to strike,
waiting to catch a glimpse of that legendary magician
Mr. Willy Wonka.
Hold your breath
Make a wish
Count to three
Come with me and you’ll be
In a world of pure imagination
Take a look and you’ll see
Into your imagination
Reach the stars
Fly a fantasy
Dream a dream
And what you see will be
We’ll begin with a spin
Traveling in the world of my creation
What we’ll see will defy explanation
No, no.
There’d be children
floating all over the place!
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
When illusion spin her net
I’m never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Or am I standing still?
Beneath the darkened sky
Or am I standing still?
With the scenery flying by
Oh, you should never, never doubt
what nobody is sure about.
Of course you don’t know.
You don’t know because only I know.
If you knew and I didn’t know,
then you’d be teaching me
instead of me teaching you.
And for a student to teach his teacher
is presumptuous and rude.
Do I make myself clear?
You’re just living out life
On a big blue ball
If you are wise you’ll listen to me
Some things you have to believe
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
An elevator can only go up and down,
but the Wonkavator can go
sideways and slantways
and longways and backways . . .
Lost, in a dream –
I don’t know which way to go
‘Round the world and home again,
that’s the sailor’s way!
There’s no earthly way of knowing
Which direction we are going
There’s no knowing where we’re rowing
Or which way the river’s flowing
If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is a 1971 American musical fantasy film directed by Mel Stuart from a screenplay by Roald Dahl, based on his 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Why don’t you try simply reading a book
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There’s nothing to it
There is no life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there you’ll be free
If you truly wish to be
You will live in happiness too
Like the Oompa Loompa Doompety do
I shall be free, free
free of those voices inside me
No one to tell us, “no” or where to go
Or say we’re only dreaming
