Eric Matthews - The Imagination Stage

It's a wonder it took so long to find my way
Another way is right here, hooray
Right here in written songs I love

I tried like hell to draw just something colorful
It always came out black and light brown
I knew that I'd come around

What I tell ya' now is that I have arrived in my mind
And I'm not going back, to the time when I struggled
Only to find a music half blind and afraid to fly

What I get in the end is just a place to stay, a hide away
And these songs of love, and those rumors above
I will try like hell to make a music beautiful

And it will sound like I am alive
You will know that I'm still alive

What I tell ya' now is that I have arrived in my mind
And I'm not going back, to the time where I struggled
Only to find a music half blind and afraid to fly

The imagination stage is where I am my dear right now
I'm caught in this cloud, flowering
Alone it is rare, so rare like a life that is lead without fear
I know, I ramble on about truth inside my songs

What I tell ya' now is that I have arrived in my mind
And I'm not going back, to the time where I struggled
Only to find a music half blind and afraid to fly
