| 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 |
