Lyrics Kirk Franklin – Imagine Me

Imagine me
Loving what I see when the mirror looks at me ’cause I
I imagine me
In a place of no insecurities

Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me
‘Cause they never did deserve me
Can you imagine me?
Saying «No» to thoughts that try to control me
Remembering all you told me
Lord, can you imagine me?

Over what my mama said
And healed from what my daddy did and
I wanna live and not read that page again

Chorus:
Imagine me being free, trusting you totally
Finally I can…
Imagine me
I admit it was hard to see
You being in love with someone like me
Finally I can…
Imagine me

(Imagine me) being strong
And not letting people break me down
You won’t get that joy this time around (No no)
Can you imagine me?
In a world (in a world) where nobody has to live afraid
Because of your love fear’s gone away
Can you imagine me?

Bridge:
Letting go of my past
And glad I have another chance
And my heart will dance
‘Cause I don’t have to read that page again

Chorus 2x
(Imagine me)
Imagine me, me being free, trusting you totally
Finally I can…
Imagine me
(I admit Jesus) I admit it was hard to see
You being in love with someone like me (like me)
Finally I can…
Imagine me

(I imagine me)
Imagine me (being free) being free, trusting you totally (totally)
Finally I can…
Imagine me
(I’ll be honest with you)
I admit it was hard to see (it was hard)
You being in love with someone like me (yeah)
But finally I can…
Imagine me

Spoken:
This song is dedicated to people like me.
Those that struggle with insecurities, acceptance and even self-esteem.
You’ve never felt good enough, you’ve never felt pretty enough
But imagine God whispering in your ear letting you know that everything that has happened is now…

…gone, gone, it’s gone, all gone
(It’s all gone, every sin)
Gone, gone, it’s gone, all gone
(Every mistake, every failure, it’s all gone)
Gone, gone, it’s gone, all gone
(Depression, gone, by faith, it’s gone)
Gone, gone, it’s gone, all gone
(Low self-esteem, Hallelujah, it’s gone, it’s all gone)
Gone, gone, it’s gone, all gone
(It’s gone, all my scars, all my pain)
Gone, gone, it’s gone, all gone
(It’s in the past, it’s yesterday, it’s all gone, ah)
Gone, gone, it’s gone, all gone
(I can’t believe it’s gone)
(Gone, what your mother did, what your father did, Hallelujah)
Gone, gone, it’s gone, all gone
(It’s gone)
