Imagine All the People
Livin' life in Peace
We were listening to a favorite Pandora station and this song popped up. I melted. It’s been so long since I listened to these lyrics. A stark contrast to all the bombastic news junk we are being flooded with.
Anyone who doesn’t seek peace suffers from a lack of imagination.
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
A Sunday reflection - no preaching, just a consideration.
Anyone can imagine harmony and generosity.
Anyone can imagine peace.
Anyone can.
Thank you, Bill. My heart melted too when I realized what was being offered. Imagine.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
We have to do more than just Imagine, though, this year. We must work as hard as we can, in whatever ways we can, to hold onto our democracy. Let us imagine we can do that!
