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
Aha-ahh
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
Yoo-hoo-ooh
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
Yoohoo-Ooh
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
Imagine by John Lennon
In the dark despair that followed September 11, 2001, my small Catholic high school assembled for a memorial. On mailing labels, I wrote out the lyrics of Imagine by John Lennon and passed them out to my friends to wear. I believed in that song then. And I believe in it now.
