Songtext:
A ship on a voyage could sink in the deep
A ship in the shallow could crack on the reef
But only ashore is it safe where it is built
And only ashore is it useless
Imagine the world without romance,
Imagine the world without music,
Imagine the world without someone imagining
A dreamer sees a wall that holds us where we are,
And sees it a worthy ladder to climb
If man would not ever have noticed the sky,
The ground might have seemed unscalable
(Repeat chorus)
Jesus, be my rudder, the wind within my sail,
I cannot make myself pretend to be afraid to fail
Take me past familiar waters, to a place so deep,
It reserves itself for the eyes of those who dream
A ship in the shallow could crack on the reef
But only ashore is it safe where it is built
And only ashore is it useless
Imagine the world without romance,
Imagine the world without music,
Imagine the world without someone imagining
A dreamer sees a wall that holds us where we are,
And sees it a worthy ladder to climb
If man would not ever have noticed the sky,
The ground might have seemed unscalable
(Repeat chorus)
Jesus, be my rudder, the wind within my sail,
I cannot make myself pretend to be afraid to fail
Take me past familiar waters, to a place so deep,
It reserves itself for the eyes of those who dream
