Isobel's Dream

Song written by Kim Wilde & Ricky Wilde. Originally released as a bonus track on the Deluxe version of Wilde Winter Songbook in November 2015.

The song was inspired by the children's book Isobel and the Land of the Pink Bears which Kim read during her childhood. She found a copy of the book online after starting to look for it in the summer of 2012. The lyric of the song roughly references the story of the book.

Lyrics

Looking through a child's eye, turning pages from the past
Of a story I read so long ago
An adventure on a snowy cloud to a garden full of dreams
A place where every seed
Would have a chance to grow

I can hear Isobel singing
As she flies above the clouds
For her life is just beginning
And no one can bring her back down

Onwards, as her voyage unfolds
With adventures both wonderful and sad,
She will never stop believing in the power of her dreams
In a world that is surely going mad

I still hear Isobel singing
As she flies above the clouds
When her life was just beginning
And no one could bring her back down

Spoken:
There was once upon a time a little girl called Isobel
One night a snowy white cloud came sailing towards her window
Like a crystal ship that sparkled in the air
'I've come to take you on a journey', said a quiet voice
'Where?' she asked

'To the land of dreams, except these ones come true if you want them to'

Isobel
Wake up
Wake up, Isobel

I still hear Isobel singing
As she flies above the clouds
When her life was just beginning
And no one could bring her back down

Isobel
Wake up
Wake up, Isobel
