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
Imagine there’s no country
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 some day 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...

John Lennon
