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

It was easy then to say where love could go
It's so easy when there's so much you want to know

About my imagination, it got me through somehow
Without my imagination, I wouldn't be here now

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
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 rededication
Not talking 'bout just my generation

I'm sending out this invocation
Oh I keep getting these excitations
More light, more love
More truth and more innovation
