"Solla Sollew" from "Seussical: the Musical"

HORTON
There's a faraway land
So the stories all tell
Somewhere beyond the horizon.
If we can find it
Then all will be well,
Troubles there are few.
Someday, we'll go to . . .
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew

HORTON, CIRCUS ANIMALS
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew

(Jojo enters. He is at school, writing a letter home. Simultaneously, Mr. and Mrs. Mayor enter, reading the letter.)

JOJO
Dear Mom and Dad,
I'm thinking of you,
And wishing we all were in Solla Sollew.

MAYOR
They say breezes are warm there

MRS. MAYOR
And people are kind.

JOJO
Maybe it's something like heaven.

JOJO, MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR
I close my eyes
And I see in my mind
Skies of bluest blue

CIRCUS ANIMALS, ALL
Solla Sollew

HORTON
I've had so much trouble
Finging my way there.
When I get close,
It disappears.

JOJO, MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR, CIRCUS ANIMALS
Solla Sollew

HORTON
If we can get there,
We're gonna stay there
If it takes us miles,

JOJO, MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR, CIRCUS ANIMALS
If it takes us miles

HORTON
If it takes us years.
High on a mountain
Or lost on the sea,

HORTON, JOJO
Sooner or later, I'll find it.

MAYOR
I have a picture
Of how it will be

MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR
On the day I do

HORTON, MAYOR, MRS. MAYOR, JOJO
Troubles will be through
And I'll be home with you.

ALL
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew
Solla Sollew

HORTON
I'll be home . . .
With you

ALL (BUT HORTON)
Solla Sollew.
