In My Imagination

I wanted to write a song about dinosaurs, but I discovered there are many more than I studied when I was in school.  Just looking through all the books I could get my hands on left me feeling overwhelmed, so I switched focus to the child and the active imagination that children have.  The names of the dinosaurs and the minor key in the middle of the song has made this a favourite of many children.

 

Words for "In My Imagination"

I can imagine many wonderful things.

I close my eyes and dream of places I've never been.

I think of tiny fairies and horses who have wings,

But I could not imagine the age of the dinosaur, the age of the dinosaur.

Stegosaurus, brontosaurus, tyrannosaurus rex,

Muttaburrasaurus, triceratops.

These are the dinosaurs who lived so long ago,

Crashing through the forest looking for some food.

This was the age, the age of the dinosaur, the age of the dinousaur.

Pterodactyl, ichthyosaurus, archaeopteryx,

Ankylosaurus, iguanodon.

Some could swim and some could fly and some moved very slow.

The world was a strange and wonderful place.

This was the age, the age of the dinosaur, the age of the dinosaur.

So close your eyes and think of the creatures we have sung.

Of all that God's created, what wonders to behold,

And thank our heavenly Father that we are here today,

When we can all imagine, the age of the dinosaur, the age of the dinosaur.
