Imagine That
Imagine that the headlight beams of those growling cars
Approaching out of darkness far away
Slithering through the showering night are shooting stars
To sing our way to dawning silver day
When those stars fade out to leave us with the growl
Of one of those cars with a returning owl
As omen in its wheels we know how it feels
On a grey morning without any warning
To be slapped in the face with a sorrow of scars
And stars and cars winking out leaving only doubt
Alien and shocking in the morning light
A sacrifice of night to light the day
Something wrong as right surprising us to sight
Helping us to get to silver from grey
Omen out of darkness blooming from the night
We love you but hate to see you this way
Imagine that though we borrow and we lend
Yesterday the hard way remembered today
Imagine that we are happy tomorrow
As becoming happy becomes what we do
Toward finding ourselves and each other and love
Imagine that then till tomorrow comes true
Imagine that it will be beautiful for
Those of us for whom life is taking awhile
Imagine that we remember how to smile
And not be too grown up to imagine anymore
Imagine that those cars are stars and shooting now
Singing out strong and wringing the wrong from spring
We might as well be happy as to be anything
Determinedly determined to be imagining how
To welcome silver dawning day whatever it may bring
Those cars are stars and they are shooting now
