Imagine
[Verse 1] [Chorus]
Imagine there's no heaven You may say
It's easy if you try I'm a dreamer
No hell below us But I'm not the only one
Above us, only sky I hope some day you'll join us
Imagine all the people living for today And the world will be as one
[Verse 2]
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
Imagine
[Verse 3] [Chorus]
Imagine no possessions You may say

A brotherhood of man I hope some day you'll join us
Imagine all the people sharing all the world And the world will be as one
