SOMETIMES I IMAGINE

(T. Beechey)



Sometimes I imagine I can fly,just spread my arms and head for the sky

Soar above clouds,somersault over trees --- while being carried on the breeze

Sometimes I imagine I'm not here,I just close my eyes and I disappear

And I am nowhere that I can be found because I am nowhere around



I imagine all sorts of silly things

But,time and again,what always brings

Me back to what I try to conceal

Is that none of it can ever be real



Sometimes I imagine I'm big and strong,fighting back fear and righting each wrong

Setting a path for others to take by turning back trouble in my wake

Sometimes I imagine I'm fierce and brave and all those shackled by pain as a slave

I will turn loose and allow them to live in a world only Jesus can give



I imagine all sorts of wacky things

But,time and again,what always brings

Me back to what fate will not steal

Is that none of it can ever be real



Sometimes I imagine I'm meant to be and others find a reason for me

I'm not just a burden,I'm not just a yoke or the punchline to a bad joke

Sometimes I imagine I'm someone to love,someone that someone thinks highly of

And shares precious moments forever after in the midst of smiles and laughter



I imagine all sorts of crazy things

But,time and again,what always brings

Me back to the way that I always feel

Is that none of it can ever be real
