My father always wanted things that I could never be
He wanted me to see a world that I could never see
For, all my life, I always knew there was something else for me
'Cause I believe in unicorns, and castles by the sea

My mother always wanted me to grow up just as she
Marrying an honest man, raising a family
But I have held a different dream within the heart of me
For I believe in unicorns, and castles by the sea

     Chorus:
     Oh, the warm caress
     All my dreams possess
     All the happiness they hold for me
     Through my dreams and youth
     I have felt the truth
     And I believe in unicorns, and castles by the sea

This world has always told me that I am just a fool
That I should "face reality", and I'm breaking every rule
But when it's time for me to die, I won't feel the need to cry
I'll still believe in unicorns, and castles by the sea

     Chorus:
     Oh, the warm caress
     All my dreams possess
     All the happiness they hold for me
     Through my dreams and youth
     I have felt the truth
     And I believe in unicorns, and castles by the sea
     Yes, I believe in unicorns, and castles by the sea
