Imagine the News
Verse 1:
Click goes the screen, same old fear parade,
Another scandal, another blade.
But somewhere a rocket just kissed the sky,
And no one told us why.
A cure was found in a lab tonight,
A girl built wings that took to flight.
But that doesn’t sell like rage and doom
So brilliance leaves the room.
Pre-Chorus:
But what if the stories changed their tune?
What if we lit the nightly gloom?
Chorus:
Imagine the news at ten
With a headline: “Hope again.”
“Here’s a boy who grew food in the sand,”
“A woman who mapped the stars by hand.”
Imagine a world that leads
With minds, not just misdeeds.
Where the front page shouts what we can do
Imagine the news.
Verse 2:
A thousand hands just pulled the tide
From flood to safety, side by side.
A teacher built a drone from scraps
No cameras there, no claps.
We act like wonder’s underground,
But it’s rising up all around.
It just needs light, it just needs air
And someone to declare…
Pre-Chorus:
That not all flames are meant to burn,
Some are signs the world can turn.
Chorus:
Imagine the news at six
With a segment on solar tricks.
“Teenage coder saved a life,”
“Peace was brokered without a knife.”
Imagine if we all knew
What dreamers quietly do.
Not just what broke, but what breaks through
Imagine the news.
Bridge:
Not ignoring pain, but showing more
What we build is worth fighting for.
So let the anchors anchor hope,
Let the satellites widen scope.
Final Chorus (soaring):
Imagine the news at dawn,
Where “We did it!” is passed on.
A thousand sparks on every screen.
Proof we’re more than the in-between.
Tell the children not just the blues
But the symphony of human clues.
Let’s write it real, let’s make it true,
Imagine…
Imagine the news.
