Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today, I
[Verse 2]
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 living life in peace, you
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
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
Written by: John Winston Lennon, Yoko Ono
