The verse “You got the feeling, I got the ticket / It ain’t no silhouette, well it’s something tangible” underscores a theme of making abstract dreams concrete. This lyrical direction reflects a maturity, moving from internal reflection to collaborative action. The bridge introduces a scenic shift “Under the moon / In the valley,” evoking the imagery of his own Rainbow Valley studio and suggesting a journey without limits.
The lyrics ultimately form an uplifting narrative, ideal for fans who connect with the substance behind Corby’s soulful compositions. The repetitive, melodic outro of “Do do do do” provides a simple, memorable moment for crowd participation during live performances.

Lyrics
You been talking ’bout your great escape
To a place unheard
You been talking ’bout this everyday
Don’t you need more than words
We could make it real
Anything you feel
So tell me all your big ideas
We could make it real
You got the feeling, I got the ticket
It ain’t no silhouette, well it’s something tangible
You paint the picture, imaginator
Anything you want
We could make it real
Whatever you feel
So tell me all your big ideas
We could make it real
Under the moon
In the valley
No horizons
Someday soon
We’ll go further
Into the unknown
We could make it real
Everything you feel
So tell me all your big ideas
We could make it real
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
