Unicorn Song - Peter, Paul and Mary

When I was growing up my best friend was a unicorn

The others smiled at me and called me «crazy»

But I was not upset by knowing I did not conform

I always thought their seeing must be hazy

The unicorn and I would while away the hours

Playing, dancing and romancing in the wild flowers

And we’d sing

Seeing is believing in the things you see

Loving is believing in the ones you love

Seeing is believing in the things you see

Loving is believing in the ones you love

When I was seventeen my best friend was the Northern Star

The others asked why I was always dreaming

When I did not reply I found my thoughts were very far

Away from daily hurts and fears and scheming

The Northern Star and I would share our dreams together

Laughing, sighing, sometimes crying, in all kinds of weather

And we’d sing

And now that I am grown, my best friend lives inside of me

The others smile at me and call me «crazy»

But I am not upset, for long ago I found the key

I’ve always known their seeing must be hazy

My friend inside and I would while away the hours

Playing, dancing and romancing in the wild flowers

And we’d sing
