There are leaders
And those who only wish to follow and be fed
There are strangers with stolen power
And there are reasons that come tomorrow
And is it natures way
For you to run today and be free

Do you want to be a legend
Or a passing footprint on the sands of time
Do you want to be a failure
Or the best example of a man who lived to use his mind -
Imagine what you could be

There are rebels
Who can't be silenced, they remind us how to see
There are prophets, believing visions
While many others, put trust in science
And there are dreamers who
Must get through, to your soul

Do you want to be a legend
Or a passing footprint on the sands of time
Do you want to be a failure
Or the best example of a man who lived to use his mind -
Imagine what you could be

Imagine what you could be
With that feeling of symmetry
And your eye for beauty
Then you've faith in the impossible -
Imagine what you could be
There are lovers
Of skills forgotten
By great people - in their haste
But there is no one
Who knows what you do
That's the knowledge you should not waste
And teachers point the way
But only you can find the place

Do you want to be a legend
Or a passing footprint on the sands of time
Do you want to be a failure
Or the best example of a man who lived to use his mind -
Imagine what you could be
