John Lennon - Imagine
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 - 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
Living 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 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.
Discussion Questions:
What do the words in bold have in common?
What is the rationale of heaven and hell? Of religion? Of the differences in our world / Life? Can people live as one? Sameness? Would you like to live like that? Does the thought make you appreciate your conflicts more?
