When John Lennon released Imagine in 1971, he wasn’t just sharing a melody, he was sharing a vision. A world without borders, without greed, without hate. The simplicity of his words became a powerful anthem for peace.
Imagine there’s no countries,
It isn’t hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
And no religion too.
Decades later, its message still resonates. Imagine reminds us that progress begins with possibility, and possibility begins with imagination.
Imagine Lyrics
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
