IMAGINE JHON LENNON

 

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

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 some day you'll join us

And the world will be as one

 

starting from the title, the intelligent reader understands that the song will have the imagination as its main topic. This song is organize in to five stanzas: in the first one the author invites us to imagine that there is no paradise and he believes it is easy if you try and asks us to imagine that there is no hell below us.

 

It asks to imagine that all people don’t think about the future, but live day by day, that there are no more countries that make people different: the author invites us to imagine a world without countries, nothing to kill or die for, no religion, a world where inequalities doesn’t exist but we are all similar because we are human.

the author is not the only one who hopes for this image and hopes that whoever listens to the song will join him creating an equal world. 

a world without greed or hunger, with no possessions would become a world of brotherhood between men where people are united.

in this song the author invites everyone to be human first all, he invites to let go ambitions and selfishness, inequalities and envy.
