About My Imagination

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 (Swallow Turn Music, ASCAP; Eye Cue Music, ASCAP; Bossypants Music/Songs of Windswept Pacific, BMI; Bateria Music, ASCAP; Glad Brad Music, Inc., ASCAP)
