Imagine
there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah
Imagine
there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace
You
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no
possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You
You may say
I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
When I researched this song from 1971 I was actually surprised that it was released by Lennon as a solo artist. It was the best selling single of his solo career. It was inspired by Yoko Ono.
It is a hopeful but deeply political song. Still relevant today! But still a pipe dream.
