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
