Imagine a Man

Imagine a man Not a child of any revolt But a plain man tied up in life Imagine the sand Running out as he struts Parading and fading, ignoring his wife Imagine a road So long looking backwards You can't see where it really began Imagine a load So large and so smooth That against it a man is an ant Then you will see the end You will see the end Imagine events That occur everyday Like a shooting or raping or a simple act of deceit Imagine a fence Around you as high as prevention Casting shadows, you can't see your feet Imagine a girl With long, flowing hair And the body of chalky perfection and truth Imagine a past Where you wish you had lived Full of heroes and villains and fools And you will see the end You will see the end And you will see the end You will see the end Oh yeah Imagine a man Not a child of any revolt But a man of today feeling new Imagine a soul So old it it is broken And you know your invention is you And you will see the end You will see the end You will see the end You will see the end Oh yeah
