Imagine That
I built a city in my room on the floor.
It started by the window and it grew right out the door.
I used up all my Leggo sets and Tinker Toys and blocks.
There were Hotwheels on the highways, there were Weebles on the
walks.
I ran into the living room a flappin my jaws:
It was bigger than New York, it was brighter than Oz!
My dad looked up from the book in his lap and he said.... Son,
imagine that.
Chorus:
Imagine that. Imagine that. Imagine that.
Imagine that if you will just imagine that.
mmm imagine, mmm imagine
We built a castle on a giant pile of sand.
Kids showed up from blocks around to lend a helping hand,
digging tunnels underneath it and a moat around the yard.
We made walls and keeps and towers with a dragon standing guard.
We told our mom about it as she shook her finger at us:
It was mightier than Camelot and brighter than Atlantis.
She showed us to the bathroom and she ran us both a bath and she
said,
"Mm mm mm imagine that."
(Chorus)
I built a city on a cloud in the sky.
The people worked together using love to make it fly.
And every single boy and girl was treated like a king.
Cause in my city children were the most important thing.
I wrote a song about it which I sang near and far:
It was happier there than Disneyland and brighter than Shangri-La
A lot of people heard it and a lot of people laughed
But a lot of people said, Imagine that.
(Chorus)
Imagine with me what the future may be.
Imagine living in a city under sea.
Imagine living on a Martian colony.
Imagine that if you will just imagine that!
Imagine every child pursuing a dream.
Imagine turning dreams into reality.
Imagine living in peace and harmony.
Imagine that if you will just imagine that!
