I always did have a wild imagination
but was never taught to use it
I often was told to defuse it
every time that I would climb aboard
my make believe time machine
I was laughed at and told something mean
as time moved on I forgot how to have fun
break windows, climb tree's play and run
It was grown folks who slammed the door
in the face my dreams and my faith faded away
those who are still living are still in limbo today
somewhere along the way I found the key
and escaped the chains that shackled my brain
now I live life like I'm insane refusing to miss a thing
we should never take a child's wonder away
allow them to fly and don't take their wings away
let them have a voice and a choice to choose
let them test their will and never tell them how
they should feel, let them express themselves
through their own creative actions
appreciate and encourage them to push
past your failures and enslaved beliefs
and when they struggle and they will
don't you ever tell them to be still and
continue to remind them that the struggle is real
