IMAGINE by John 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 live as one

lennon said that there r lots of things that can happen in our minds that cannot happen in reality...so "imagine"...
and he's giving us instances,like if there were no differences between religions...nothing to kill others for...if ppl gave up being selfish,and thought abt the present instead of the future...and wat happened in the past...
the borders of the countries r there in real life,..but in the dreams,they can be omitted..
nobody has any material possessions that they call "theirs"...everything belongs to everyone..no one is greedy or hungry for power,..and its like all earthlings r a family,brothers..
and its so pleasant to imagine that everyone is sharing the world,instead of fighting for the imaginary boundaries ..
and all these fantasies can never come true...so he's a dreamer,and he knows that there r many other ppl like him...who dream of peace,love and equality..
and he hopes that someday,everyone will hv the same dream,and so it wont be a dream anymore,it will become reality...
and then we wont be separated by our countries,or beliefs and we'll live togather as ONE
