Imagine Song Lyrics
John Lennon
5 paragraphs
it took me about 30 secs to read but much longer to analyze, I'm splitting my analysis into 2 RR's because it's really long
Rating: 10/10- possibly the best song ever written
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
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 may say that 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 may say that 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
As you can see, I'm really into this song. I would never have guessed when I started that so much could come out a 5 simple paragraphs. The truth is, I haven't even begun to reflect on this song. There's still so much to talk about. But, since I'm limited on time, I'll begin starting where I left off... third paragraph. This is the best part in my opinion. It basically epitomizes the song. This is the message that John Lennon tries to spread. I might not understand what some of the song means, and maybe I never will, but it's summed up neatly for me in this one paragraph. The world united. May his dream never die. The fourth paragraph is the one that makes the second most sense to me. I'm ashamed to say that I can't imagine no possessions. I know this makes me a selfish human being and everything, but I'd rather tell the truth than lie and tell everyone I'm completely selfless, because I'm not. A brotherhood of man. No hunger. No greed. It's all a wonderful, amazing dream of John Lennon's, and I'm glad to say I'm a dreamer too. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure our imagination can only go so far, and it's hard to imagine this dream becoming reality anytime soon. Speaking from present tense, most of the things in this song seem sadly out of reach. It's getting harder and harder to imagine all the people living life in peace. I'm starting to sound like a wacky philosopher, so i'm going to end this response by stating a few quotes from John Lennon:
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality. - John Lennon
All we are saying is give peace a chance. - John Lennon
All you need is love. - John Lennon

(Con. from last RR)
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
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 may say that 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 may say that 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
