    At 69, I have little left to surprise me in a positive way.
    But the first time I saw this video, when the stage curtain opened, I was 5 years old again. My heart was touched. The world was again a beautiful place, and I was overwhelmed by its possibilities.
    My deepest gratitude is offered to Josh, the musicians, the author, and the director of this stunning video. ♥️♥️♥️

    Come with me
    And you'll be
    In a world of pure imagination
    Take a look
    And you'll see
    Into your imagination
    We'll begin
    With a spin
    Traveling in
    The world of my creation
    What we'll see
    Will defy
    Explanation
    If you want to view paradise
    Simply look around and view it
    Anything you want to, do it
    Want to change the world?
    There's nothing to it
    There is no
    Life I know
    To compare with pure imagination
    Living there
    You'll be free
    If you truly wish to be
    If you want to see magic lands
    Close your eyes and you will see one
    Want to be a dreamer, be one
    Anytime you please and please save me one
    Come with me
    And you'll be
    In a world of pure imagination
    Take a look
    And you'll see
    Into your imagination
    There is no
    Place to go
    To compare with your imagination
    So go there
    To be free
    If you truly wish to be
    Living there
    You'll be free
    If you truly wish to be
