About this Offering

For my Peace Offering, I did a piano cover of a song called, "Imagine" by John Lennon arranged by Francesco Parrino. Whenever I think about peace, I get reminded of this song instantly. This song is about wanting peace and imagining what life would be like without any hate, racism, and war. This song was written to show us that we don’t need cruelty and war in our lives. John Lennon wants us to open our minds so that we can live in peace and harmony with one another. He states in his lyrics, “You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.” There are others who also dream about wanting peace and that he isn’t the only one who wants this desire. He hopes that one day, everyone would have the same dream as him for wanting peace in our lives so that dream would eventually become a reality. 

While you listen to this piano cover, I would like for you to imagine what world peace would look and/or feel like and take a moment to clear out your thoughts. Feel free to sing along if you would like and I hope you enjoy!
