(Browne, McCormick, Goldenberg, Lewak & Young)
|
I kept my eyes open and tried to see
|
The point of what went on in front of me
|
I kept what moved me, forgot about the rest
|
And took my young imagination to the acid test
|
|
And it was easy then to say what love could do
|
It's so easy when your world is new
|
|
It's been so hard sometimes to find my way
|
I let my pleasure lead my little world astray
|
And if I'm truthful I'll say that I was blind
|
To everything about this life but what I had in mind
|
|
And it was easy then to say where love could go
|
It's so easy when there's so much you don't know
|
|
About my imagination, it got me through somehow
|
Without my imagination, I wouldn't be here now
|
|
And it was easy then when love was guaranteed
|
It's so easy when love is all you need
|
|
About my imagination
|
I'm making this investigation
|
Into my imagination
|
According to my computations
|
We're overdue for a transformation
|
Or is it my imagination?
|
|
I keep my eyes open and try to see
|
This life in terms of possibility
|
With so much changing, and changing for the worse
|
You got to keep your head up, Baby
|
From the cradle to the hearse
|
|
And it was easy then to say where love could go
|
It's so easy when love is all you know
|
|
About my imagination
|
I'm getting ready for the celebration
|
I'm bringing my imagination
|
Taking charge of my elevation
|
No fear, no trepidation
|
Register my affirmation
|
No doubt, no hesitation
|
People get ready for the embarkation
|
|
About my imagination
|
Calling out across the nation
|
It's time for some kind of re-dedication
|
Not talking 'bout just my generation
|
I'm sending out this invocation
|
I keep getting these excitations
|
More light, more love
|
More truth, and more innovation
|
