Lyrics

Every now and then
There appears a sign
That points just round the bend
To a place you'll find
Covered in clover
The magic comes over you
Showing up right on time
This is your shining time
Climbing through stars to
your own cloud nine!
Soft strokes of lightning
Paint the skies brightening
Up all your shining time
Feel the golden sun
and your heart will soar
Knowing all at once
You've been here before!
Wandering through stories
of your childhood memories
Calling you back once more
This is your shining time
Climbing through stars to
your own cloud nine!
Warm cozy places
Welcoming faces
Reach you in shining time
Climb aboard, we'll take a magic journey
Wondrous worlds await you down the line
All you need to get you there is a ticket in your hand
Time's up! Hold on tight!
This is your shining time
Climbing through stars to
your own cloud nine!
It's always with you
If you can just see through
in to your shining time

Trivia

  • In the Hebrew and Russian versions, the lyrics are worded in first person.
  • The full Neil Donell version was released on Hummie Mann's SoundCloud in May 2017.[1]
  • According to Hummie Mann, the reason there are two versions of the song was because Maren Ord's version was the original version of the song and was going to be the version used in the film, but Britt Allcroft wanted it to be sung by a man, hence the decision to use Neil Donell. However, Ord's version was used in the credits.
