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
