Imagination (2018)
Tell you what, right now, why don't we all be very still and close our eyes
Kids at home, you too, everybody close your eyes
Okay, I got my eyes closed
Now what can you see with your eyes closed?
You can’t see anything with your eyes closed
Oh Oscar, sure you can
With my eyes closed, I see blobs of yellow moving around in blackness
If you close your eyes real tight, the yellow blobs turn all orange, and then red
I see some green lines
And some bright stars that twinkle and fly
I think I see a face
I see a silver ocean
Oh, I see a bird flying in the sunset
How 'bout you kids at home? What do you see?

Here in the middle of imagination
Right in the middle of my head
I close my eyes and my room's not my room
And my bed isn’t really my bed
I look inside and discover things
That are sometimes strange and new
And the most remarkable thoughts I think
Have a way of being true

Here in the middle of imagination
Right in the middle of my mind
I close my eyes and the night isn't dark
And the things that I lose, I find
Time stands still and the sky is clear
And the wind is warm and fair
And the nicest place in the middle of imagination
When I'm there
You can open your eyes now, kids
