Pure Imagination
The MTA Barbershop Chorus performs "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, preceded by a scripture reading about mounting up "in the imagination of his thoughts, as upon eagle's wings." The performance weaves together themes of creative vision and spiritual aspiration, inviting listeners into "a world of pure imagination" where "every dream comes true" and "there's nothing to it" if one truly wishes to change the world.

And he shall mount up in the imagination of his thoughts, as upon eagle’s wings. And what if I will that he should raise the dead?
MTA Barbershop Chorus
Everything is new Every dream comes true In the world of pure magic. 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 Travelling in the world of my creation What we’ll see will define explanation If you want a view paradise, simply look around and view it And he wants to do it wanna change the world There’s nothing to it There is no life I know to come with pure imagination Living there you’ll be free if you truly wish To be won’t you come along with me There’s so much to see And we can make our wildest dreams Come true Come to true.
