Hamilton - A Space for Imagination

A friend recently recorded a cover of Willy Wonka's "Pure Imagination" song, and for the first time in years, the lyrics meant something to me.  I was wandering out in the city with the tune playing on my ipod and couldn't help but see Hamilton as my own little paradise.

Look and Listen...


Willy Wonka: 
[Spoken] 
Hold your breath 
Make a wish 
Count to three 

[Sung] 
Come with me 
And you'll be 
In a world of 
Pure imagination 
Take a look 
And you'll see 
Into your imagination 

We'll begin 
With a spin 
Traveling in 
The world of my creation 
What we'll see 
Will defy 
Explanation 

If you want to view paradise 
Simply look around and view it 
Anything you want to, do it 
Wanta change the world? 
There's nothing 
To it 

There is no 
Life I know 
To compare with 
Pure imagination 
Living there 
You'll be free 
If you truly wish to be...
