Lyrics
Sitting in a empty room with empty hands Staring at a empty page of pencil lead Waiting for the lighting strike, (ooh ooh ooh) to bring a little world to life (ooh-o-o-o ooh) And color in the sky Suddenly the subtle shading starts to move (uh uh) And even though the characters are crude (uh duh) He's flipping paper through his hands (ooh ooh) He can see a hundred holograms (ooh ahh) Reflected in his eyes Line by line he goes Frame by frame he hopes Hе’s a world creator (aah ahh) A fairy chaser (aah ahh) But day by day it grows (ooh-o-o grows) The Animator knows Now the people on the page begin to speak (Mr. Loter) But it's hard to understand what they mean (Speaking in vocoder) Is it real or only fantasy (ooh ooh ooh) Can you believe in everything (ooh-o-o-o ooh) or are you leaning in too clo-oh-oh-ose! Line by line he goes (Drawing, drawing!) Frame by frame he hopes (Figures falling!) He's a world creator (aah ahh) A, A fairy chaser (aah ahh) But day by day it grows, (day by day it grows) The Animator know oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh) oh-oh oh-ohs (oh oh-oh) When the creatures roam (When the creatures roam) The Animator froze (The Animator know) oh-oh-oh (oh-oh-oh oh oh-ohs) (oh-oh-oh oh oh-ohs) oh-oh-oh oh-ohs Horns and wings aglow (Horns and wings aglow) He had to let them go, ahh! Line by line he goes (Drawing, drawing!) Frame by frame he hopes (Figures falling down) He’s a world creator (-own own) A fairy chaser (own own) But day by day it grows, The Animator know oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh-ohs (Animator knows) Line by line he goes (Illustrating!) Frame by frame he hopes (Always navigating!) One by one we celebrate The Animator knows
