Pure Imagination

I love the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory". Every time I watch it, it takes me back to a magical moment from my childhood. This is a perfect law of attraction "feel good" movie if there ever was one.

I still get so excited for Charlie when he opens his bar of chocolate and gets a glimpse of that beautiful golden ticket. That image of him realizing that his greatest dream has just come true brings tears to my eyes each time I watch it. And believe it or not I still worry that someone is going to grab that ticket out of his hand during the crowd scene.

One of my favorite parts of the movie is when they enter the chocolate room for the first time. Willy Wonka sings this amazing song about "Pure Imagination".




Pure Imagination Lyrics

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

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


What incredible lyrics; so beautiful, inspiring and creative. I've been looking for a life theme song - I think I just found it!
