It Must Be Believed To Be Seen

ALL: Willy Wonka! Willy Wonka!

WILLY WONKA: Won't you help me, please?

I'm afraid that I might fall

For my eyes and knees

Have grown frail behind this wall

Let me come to you

Though it appears I've lost my pep

But as this ancient relic read

In the Tao of Ching, it's said

A journey of a thousand miles begins with just… one… step!

Oh, oh!

Beyond this door's a factory

Begat from just a bean

Beyond this door, surprise is in store

But it must be believed to be seen

Beyond this door's invention

Where mind meets with machine

Beyond these gates

Astonishment waits

But it must be believed to be seen

No magic spells or potions

Forswear legerdemain

My kingdom's created from notions

All swirling inside of my brain

Beyond this door's a banquet of Wonka-made cuisine

A lucky few will get to pass through

But it must be believed to be seen

Beyond this door is music

Come dance betwixt and between

Beyond this waltz is a world without faults

But it must be believed to be seen

Beyond this door's a puzzle

You'll find out what I mean

Beyond this gate is the world I create

But it must be believed to be seen

Despite the man seen at these doors

My childhood home was bland like yours

But I knew how to look to find

A world that wasn't colour-blind

Let's hope that you're a bit like me

As you walk through my factory

For in the end there's quite a prize

If you can see with more than eyes…

(spoken) Golden Ticket winners! Gloop, Teavee, Beauregarde, Salt… Bucket!

(sung) Your life's about to change now

So don't get left behind

Do things appear quite strange now?

Imagine the wonders you'll find

Beyond this door is chocolate

So tasty it's obscene

So follow me

For I guarantee

That this world I've conceived

And all I've achieved

It must be believed

To be seen

(spoken) Do come in.
