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 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
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 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
Imagine - The Beatles
Released in 1971, 'Imagine' stands as a defining track in The Beatles' final era, blending psychedelic rock with a deeply spiritual message. The song features a distinctive, repetitive guitar riff that anchors its contemplative lyrics, which envision a world without borders or religious dogma. While often associated with the band's later, more introspective period, the recording reflects the group's evolving musical landscape as they moved away from their earlier pop structures toward more experimental textures. The track remains a cultural touchstone, celebrated for its universal themes and its role in shaping the legacy of one of the most influential acts in popular music history.
