Lyrics:
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, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day 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 some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
You could say he is portraying his image of peace in this world. That is pretty cool. Imagine, there is no war, no possesions, and all people sharing the world equally. Yes, that is the vision dreamed by him.
But somehow, there is a reply for this. The band thrice composed a song with meaningful lyrics to counter this song. This band write songs with deep meaning and great sounds. Do check them out. They are way underrated.
Lyrics:
What are we all living for?
If nothing's worth dying for tonight
Your dreams are not enough
What I need is love
That's worth laying down my life
Sing along,
Just like they taught us
It's soothing your mind this lullaby
No heaven above us
Just mile after mile of empty sky
No right or wrong
Can you imagine?
A world where there's no more need to cry
But no joy or passion
Its seems that the price is much to high
But I am holding out for something real
And though you offered peace
What I really need comes in so much more
Your dreams are not enough
What I need is love that's worth dying for
You say that you're a dreamer
Well I'm a dreamer too
But I wont sing your lullaby
However well intentioned
Its neither good nor true
The pallid dream is just a lie
But I am holding out for something real
And though you offered peace
What I really need comes in so much more
Your dreams are not enough
What I need is love that's worth dying for
What are we all living for
If nothing's worth dying for tonight?
It is directly the response to john lennon's song. It seems like the ideal world from john lennon is too much of a price to ask. And in this present world, somehow you just need love worth dying for. Pretty cool huh?true too. Lucky those who have found it.
