Imagination
Big Bird Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right in the middle of my head,
I close my eyes and my home isn't home,
And my bed isn't really my bed.
I look inside and discover things,
That are sometimes strange and new,
And the most remarkable thoughts I think,
Have a way of being true.
Here in the middle of imagination
Right in the middle of my mind,
I close my eyes and the night isn't dark
And the things that I lose, I find.
Time stands still and the night is clear,
And the wind is warm and fair,
And the nicest place is the middle of imagination
When ... I'm ... there ...
The lyrics to Big Bird's song "Imagination" expresses the power of the mind to unlock new worlds of thinking and creativity. The song is centered on the idea that the middle of our head, the place where our thoughts reside, is also the center of imagination. Big Bird sings about how he closes his eyes and imagines a world different from what he experiences in reality. His home becomes something else, and his bed is not his bed anymore. The song then takes a more ethereal tone as Big Bird explains that when he looks inside himself, he discovers strange and new things, and the most remarkable thoughts he has become true. When he's in the middle of his imagination, he finds that the night is not dark and the wind is warm and fair. It's an escape from reality and a journey into his creative mind.
The lyrics of the song is written by Joe Raposo, who is a well-known composer who has written music for Sesame Street, The Electric Company and much more. He wrote and sang a few songs for Sesame Street himself.

Here in the middle of imagination
In the center of my mind's creative space
Right in the middle of my head,
At the epicenter of my thoughts
I close my eyes and my home isn't home,
When I shut my eyes, the physical world disappears
And my bed isn't really my bed.
The familiar environment I am in becomes something new and unfamiliar
I look inside and discover things,
Exploring the depths of my own imagination, I find new ideas and possibilities
That are sometimes strange and new,
These thoughts can be unconventional or uncharted territory
And the most remarkable thoughts I think,
The most noteworthy ideas that come to mind
Have a way of being true.
The ideas that I conceive in my mind have a way of manifesting themselves in real life
Right in the middle of my mind,
Once again, emphasizing the power of imagination in shaping one's thoughts
I close my eyes and the night isn't dark
By accessing my imagination, I can transform a familiar, dark reality into something more vibrant and exciting
And the things that I lose, I find.
In the middle of imagination, things that may be lost in reality can be rediscovered
Time stands still and the night is clear,
Time and the physical world no longer have relevance in the middle of imagination, and clarity is present
And the nicest place is the middle of imagination
The most pleasant and wondrous area is within one's own mind
When ... I'm ... there ...
Referring back to the middle of imagination as a physical location that is reached when fully accessing one's creativity
