Lyrics

The walls are closing, the rules are tight They said, "Stay in line, don't try to fight" But I built a ladder to the stars I stole And I'm dreaming of an even bigger goal (goal) They can chain my hands, they can lock the door But good luck caging what my mind is for I see colors they can't see I can dream my destiny Oh, imagination is rebellion Oh, I'm a fire, I'm a hellion They can take my rights, but not my vision Creativity can heal division They said, "Be quiet, don't question why," But I write and sing ten lullabies I see forests where the wild things run I build kingdoms where there once were none They can burn the books, they can silence the song They can make us think that the night is long but I'll dance and shriek and roar 'Imagination is our open door.' Oh, imagination is rebellion Oh, I'm a fire, I'm a hellion They can take my rights, but not my vision Creativity can heal division In the quiet of the night, I hear the call A thousand voices through the wall We are the dreamers, the ones who see The only limit is our creativity So light the torch, let it blaze and burn Imagine it, 'cause it's our fucking turn Oh, imagination is rebellion Oh, I'm a fire, I'm a hellion They can take my rights, but not my vision Creativity can heal division So I'll dream awake, I'll dream aloud I'll scream my vision to the crowd They can build their prisons, but they'll never win, They can't take away our imagi-vision So I'll dream awake, I'll dream aloud I'll scream my vision to the crowd They can build their prisons, but they'll never win, They can't take away our imagination
