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
