Imagination

Bethany Dillon Imagination Lyrics
1.Dreamer

Love woke me up this morning
With a memory
Love came and whispered a story
That awakened a dream

Imagine a beautiful castle
And a beautiful king
He left the comfort of his throne
To fight for victory

I am a dreamer
Take me higher
Open the sky up
Start a fire
I believe
Even if it's just a dream


Love woke me up this morning
And I ran to see
The king in the winners' circle
On the horse he won for me

I am a dreamer
Take me higher
Open the sky up
Start a fire
I believe
Even if it's just a dream


Only a king would do anything
To protect the kingdom
Only a king would do anything
To protect the kingdom
Only a king would do anything
To protect the kingdom

I am a dreamer
Take me higher
Open the sky up
Start a fire
I believe
Even if it's just a dream

I am a dreamer
Take me higher
Open the sky up
Start a fire
I believe
Even if it's just a dream


2.Hallelujah

Who can hold the stars
And my weary heart?
Who can see everything?

I've fallen so hard
Sometimes I feel so far
But not beyond your reach

I could climb a mountain
Swim the ocean
Or do anything
But it's when you hold me
That I start unfolding
And all that I can say is

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah

The same sun that
Rises over castles
And welcomes the day

Spills over buildings
Into the streets
Where orphans play

And only you can see the good
In broken things
You took my heart of stone
And you made it home
And set this prisoner free

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah


Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
I'll choose to sing hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Whatever's in front of me
Help me to sing hallelujah


3.All That I Can Do

I ran around the room again
I ran outside and ran back in
And I just couldn't get away from myself
I don't care what tomorrow brings
I won't back down for anything
I want to think that I was made for something else

I can't wait anymore
I'm ready to reach
So I'm closing the door behind me

All that I can do is hold onto you
And follow where you lead
Where you're leading me
All that I can do is hold onto you
And let you bring me through
It's all that I can do


There are days I think I don't need you
There are days when I can't see the truth
I need you to save me from the lies
Because every thought that's in my head
And even when I draw my next breath
You knew it all before there was time

I can't wait anymore
I'm ready to reach
So I'm closing the door behind me

All that I can do is hold onto you
And follow where you lead
Where you're leading me
All that I can do is hold onto you
And let you bring me through

When the waves begin to rise
And all my hope fails
In confidence I'll close my eyes
Trusting you'll be there

All that I can do is hold onto you
And follow where you lead
Where you're leading me
All that I can do is hold onto you
And let you bring me through
It's all that I can do
All that I can do is hold onto you
And follow where you lead
Where you're leading me
All that I can do is hold onto you
And let you bring me through
It's all that I can do

And let you bring me through
It's all that I can do

And let you bring me through
It's all that I can do


4.Airplane

In an airplane
I take the window seat
A thousand feet
And all I know shrinks in minutes
And when the sky is gray
I want to believe
That when the sun is hiding
It still exists


In an airplane
Are kings and common men
At the window side my side
Their view is now the same
Some relax and rest their eyes
Some sit on the edge
As we all break through the clouds
Into the light of day

Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I've never seen a clearer blue
This is where I see you


Leave behind your busy life
All you have is who you are
Space like this is hard to find
So breathe it in
Someone will say,
'Where are you headed?'
And it might be the first time
You ever thought about it

Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I've never seen a clearer blue
This is where I see you


A baby's talking two rows behind me
The sun just set for the second time today
You seem to use the smallest things around me
To get me to this place

Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I've never seen a clearer blue
This is where I see you

Mountain tops peak through
This is where I see you
I've never seen a clearer blue
This is where I see you

A baby's talking two rows behind me
The sun just set for the second time today
This is where I see you


5.My Love Hasn't Grown Cold

You shake your head
What is so hard to believe
When you you are in your bed
I sing over you the sweetest things
Because oh, my love is does not tire
I'm awake when the moon is full
And I know the times when you feel lost
And you just aren't sure

Lo and behold
My love hasn't grown cold
For you

You could steal away in the middle of the night
And hide in the light of day
While you cloaked yourself in the darkest lies
But oh, my love,
it swims in the deepest oceans of fear
And as soon as you lower your head
I am here

Lo and behold
My love hasn't grown cold
Lo and behold
My love hasn't grown cold

If only you could see
how heaven stills when you speak
I know all your days
And I have wrapped you in mystery
And oh, my love for you
is as wide as the galaxies
Just hold out your hand and close your eyes
And come be with me

Lo and behold
My love
Lo and behold
My love hasn't grown cold

For you


6.New

What is this sun that conquers mountains
Singing over what has been asleep?
What is it that softens all my doubting?
It's you

Morning brings a hunger for new eyes
That have been covered by the hurt of yesterday
Who could create in me the vision of a little child?
It's you

You take an ordinary day
And turn it into flowers like the month of May
Yes you do
You see all my pain
You cry over it for hours till I'm new again
Yes you do


When I have been a victim of familiarity
When my heart has fallen into sleep
Healing is the voice that awakens me
And it is you

You take an ordinary day
And turn it into flowers like the month of May
Yes you do
You see all my pain
You cry over it for hours till I'm new again
Yes you do

You, you make me new...

You take an ordinary day
And turn it into flowers like the month of May

You see all my pain
You cry over it for hours till I'm new again

You take an ordinary day
And turn it into flowers like the month of May
Yes you do
You see all my pain
You cry over it for hours till I'm new again
Yes you do


7.The Way I See You

I thought I had my freedom
You didn't even ask
It hit me like a shotgun
Like a cannon blast

You are so elusive
Why you gotta be so detached?
But from the corner of you eye
I thought I saw you look my way
Did you see me looking back?

Oh, I just want to know...

Baby, do you see me
The way I see you?

Baby, do you see me
The way I see you?

And why do you give me
So little of you?
I'm out here on thin ice
Hoping I won't break through

You can say you are na¯ve
But I think you know the truth
You've made a prisoner of me
But I'm holding onto the belief
That my time is almost through

Oh, yeah I just want to know...

Baby, do you see me
The way I see you?

Baby, do you see me
The way I see you?


Baby, do you see me
The way I see you?

Baby, do you see me
The way I see you?

Baby, do you see me
The way I see you?


8.Vagabond

I know of a man who lives on the other side
On the other side of this mountain
They say he's calling the weary home

I've been told of a man
who walks on the other side
On the other side of this mountain
With a heart full of stories of hope

So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
Run for the children and run for the slaves
Hold it up high with a message of faith
Don't ever stop moving on
Just run like a vagabond

His book is a gun
that he reads for the people
The words that he speaks
have been colored illegal
But the law that he's under
is bigger than paper and gowns

He stayed in the streets
where the beggars are broken
He's risking is life,
a bullseye in the open
But he won't stop to rest
until he's reached every town

So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
Run for the children and run for the slaves
Hold it up high with a message of faith
Don't ever stop moving on
Just run like a vagabond


So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
Run for the children and run for the slaves
Hold it up high with a message of faith
Don't ever stop moving on
So run like a vagabond, carry the flame
Run for the children and run for the slaves
Hold it up high with a message of faith
Don't ever stop moving on
Just run like a vagabond

Just run like a vagabond

Just run like a vagabond


9.Be Near Me

I follow all the rules
Well, at least I'm trying
Hoping when my days are through
You'll be pleased

I've lived the longest days
Thinking my heart was so bad
Too scared to look in your face
Oh, if only I had

And is it alright
If I stay here all night
By the shoreline

I cannot believe you are angry or unjust
You've done nothing but have compassion on us
So be near me when I've given up
Be near me

I'm just like everyone else
We are all hiding
Acting like I have a wealth
Of knowledge and peace

But all I've ever wanted
And what men have given their lives for
Is a God who understands my weaknesses
A God that I can love

And is it alright
If I stay here all night
By the shoreline

I cannot believe you are angry or unjust
You've done nothing but have compassion on us
So be near me when I've given up
Be near me


I believe you are good and righteous
You've given me your reckless love
So be near, be near...

And is it alright
If I stay here all night
By the shoreline

I cannot believe you are angry or unjust
You've done nothing but have compassion on us
I cannot believe you are angry or unjust
You've done nothing but have compassion on us
So be near me when I've given up
Be near me


10.Imagination

I need to be reminded of who I was
When I took my first steps out the door
All I said now follows me around
I'm reminded I'm not like that anymore


I uprooted and miles behind me
Are the faces and the home I love
You've brought to my attention
I'm slowly changing and becoming
What I wanted to stop


Isn't that just like a finite mind
Setting out with such righteous indignation
But now I'm at your feet
Could you look at me with some imagination


The bush before me,
I slip my sandals off
I only stopped to look
In the depths of the sea,
in the midst of a great storm
I run, I run from you

Isn't that just like a finite mind
Setting out with such righteous indignation
But now I'm at your feet
Could you look at me with some imagination

So remind me why you woke me up
And why you wake me every morn
The staff in my hand
Held in by your love
Just stay close, stay close

Because I know my own mind
I set out with righteous indignation
But when I'm at your feet
Please look at me with some imagination
With some imagination


11.I Believe In You

When there's nothing to believe in,
I belive in you
Forget the past and let my hand
in yours be the proof
Though the strong could be my company,
you're the one I choose
So remember, I believe in you

I know it feels like every eye is watching you
Waiting for you to fall, expecting you to lose
But I see victory, so all you have to do
Is remember, I believe in you

I believe, even when I see you crying
I believe, let me dream for you
When nothing comes from trying
Remember, I believe in you


There will come a day
when love will lift you out of here
There will come a day
when love will bring the truth
There will come a day
when love will free you from your fear
And you'll remember, I believe in you

I believe, even when I see you crying
I believe, let me dream for you
When nothing comes from trying
Remember, I believe in you

I believe, even when I see you crying
I believe, let me dream for you
When nothing comes from trying

I believe, even when I see you crying
I believe, let me dream for you
When nothing comes from trying
Remember,
I believe, even when I see you crying
I believe, let me dream for you
When nothing comes from trying
Remember, I believe in you
