From the recording Imagine That
Lyrics
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 Lego™ sets and Tinker Toys™ and blocks.
There were Hot Wheels™ 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."
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."
Imagine that.
Imagine that.
Imagine that.
Imagine that if you will just imagine that.
Mmm imagine, mmm imagine
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."
Imagine that.
Imagine that.
Imagine that.
Imagine that if you will just imagine that.
Mmm imagine, mmm imagine
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!
