Lyrics
SPRAWLED ACROSS MY FATHER'S ARMCHAIR, LOST INSIDE A BOOK
SOARING OVER STREETS OF LONDON, NO WORRIES YET OF CAPTAIN HOOK
I'VE GOT A BIRD ON MY SHOULDER AND I'M WISHING HE WOULD BE MY GUIDE
THEN AS I'M GROWING OLDER I COULD LEARN TO FLY
IMAGINE
WE HAVE WINGS
AND HOLLOW BONES
SUCH FRAGILE THINGS
THE DREAMERS
BELIEVE IT'S TRUE
OOOOOOOO WE'LL FLY
AND SO WE READ THE GRAND ADVENTURES, LEARN TO RISK BEYOND THE PAGE
THE HOPE OF EACH NEW BIG REVEAL, THE ANGST OF OUR COMING OF AGE
THOUGH WE MAY BE A LITTLE BROKEN WE'RE NOT GROUNDED BY GRAVITY AND GLUE
AND IT'S NOT ABOUT THE MOTION, IT'S THE LONGING TO BE MOVED
IMAGINE
WE HAVE WINGS
AND HOLLOW BONES
SUCH FRAGILE THINGS
THE DREAMERS
BELIEVE IT'S TRUE
OOOOOOOO WE'LL FLY
FOLD MY LETTERS INTO PAPER AIRPLANES, SAIL ME ON A PAPER BOAT
WHEN IT'S DOWN TO SMOKE AND ASHES THE ONES WE LOVE KEEP US AFLOAT
OH WHEN I'M FIRE ON THE WATER WON'T YOU SING ME HOME IN LULLABY
AND IF YOUR FAITH SHOULD FALTER JUST TURN TO THE SKY
IMAGINE
NOW I HAVE WINGS
GAVE UP MY BONES
FOR FINER THINGS
YOU DREAMERS
I SWEAR IT'S TRUE
OOOOOO...WE FLY
WE FLY
