Track 1 from their seventh album “Wonderworld” released in 1974 copyright Warner Bros. Records. It was recorded at Musicland Studios in Munich, Germany. This was the last album to feature their incredibly talented bassist Gary Thain. His drug addiction affected his ability to perform and he was fired from the band in early 1975.

The album received average and mixed reviews but again sold well in Europe & Scandinavia, reaching the Top 10 in five countries, No. 31 in Canada and No. 38 on the Billboard chart.

We freely speak of dreams, we marvel at what they conceal
But in my wonderworld each sleeping vision is so real
So I believe and hope that all the things I see
May one day bring such truth and peace as we can feel
Free from this wakin’ world deep in sleep’s mystery
My will is free to wander, free to wander carelessly
At times it’s not so far from what we call reality
And at times I know I wonder if it all could come true
Oh, Mr. wonderworld
Don’t be afraid ’cause dreams were made
Were made to dim the light, the torment day can bring
And leave you free to laugh aloud and
Hear your heart bells ring
Oh, oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Wonderworld
Oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Don’t be afraid ’cause your dreams were made
They were made to dim the light, the torment day can bring
And leave you free to laugh aloud and
Hear your heart bells ring
Oh, oh, Mr. Wonderworld
Mr. Wonderworld
Mr. Wonderworld
