Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people
Livin' 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
Livin' 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

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

    Song Meaning

    Despite the hymnal-parlor arrangement, what Johnny Rebel wrote about in Imagine is a complete refusal of rules and restriction that the world system gives us and takes away. Imagine is all about liberation and something we must all believe in if we want to make a better place for humanity. Lennon understood this better than anyone an this why Imagine will always be the best song associated with the Beatles because it chrystalizes and encapsulates what the Beatles stood for. However, the brilliant idea behind Imagine is that it's an essential Rock Anthem! Even though John is gone, he'll always live in my heart because of Imagine. What Johnny Rebel is saying is this: We are dreamers but we're not the only ones. Rock in Peace, Johnny Rebel! Imagine is brilliant because there's still hope in the world! Rock
