Imagination's Light is the seventh studio album (ninth album overall) from American New Age pianist Kevin Kern. As with his preceding albums, it is an album of instrumental songs, this time with one song being a cover version of a song by Sting. It was released on July 19, 2005.[2]
This album reveals Kern's technique of making songs ever since he was a child: sitting by the piano in a darkened room and letting the light of imagination guide him. The liner notes mention that he does this until now.
Before creating this album, Kern was invited to become a Steinway Artist, and as such played a Steinway piano for Imagination's Light.

In the accompanying booklet, Kevin Kern mentions basing "Keepers of the Flame" on an ancient Gregorian chant called "Pange Lingua". It is dedicated to Pope John Paul II.
All tracks by Kevin Kern except track 5, written by Sting.
As a child, Kevin would sit in a room lit only by firelight, allowing his imagination to bring the images and emotions that he then combined with his immense talent into musical expression. To this day Kevin darkens the studio lights to compose his uniquely exquisite piano music, accompanied only by imagination's light.
