I see the pictures of pain and fear
And true salvation nowhere near
I go on living from day to day
And hope that it will go away

It must be my imagination
Playing tricks on me
It's only my imagination
Bringing me down again
Are we fighting for a nation
Or running to be free
It must be my imagination
Bringing me down

These times are changing and I can see
Our faith will bring us victory
I keep on trying to work it out
But in my mind there is no doubt

It must be my imagination
Playing tricks on me
It's only my imagination
Bringing me down again
Are we fighting for a nation
Or running to be free
It must be my imagination
Bringing me down

Every time I'm on my own
I get the same old feeling again
TV brings the message home
Then I think this could be the end

It must be my imagination
Playing tricks on me
It's only my imagination
Bringing me down again
Are we fighting for a nation
Or running to be free
It must be my imagination
Bringing me down
