[Alto solo by Beverly Jenkins] (chorus)



(Your imagination has an awful lot to give)

(If our right to live were yours hauntingly)





(full musical interlude with chorus)



(brief transition)

If a man has a story that he badly needs to tell,

A man's imagination makes a lovely wishing well,

(make a wish, make a wish)

I wish I could write a song everyone alive could understand,

(A song that a Frenchman could sing to a Spaniard)

(A song that a German could sing to a Russian)

(A song that if ever you'd sing, you are king)

(Wouldn't it be wonderful, won't it be grand)

To write a song that the whole wide world could understand.

(lala , lalala, lala, lala, lalala, lala)

(lalalala, lalalala, lala, lalala, lalala)

lalala, lalalala, lala, lalala, lalalala, lala)

lalala, lalalala, lala, lalala. lalala)

(music and repeat)

[Gonna find me a gypsy and get my fortune told,]

[I'm gonna say, please missus gypsy, tell me what the future will hold]

(Tell us what the future will hold.)
