Social Issue Song Reflection

Writer: LENNON, JOHN

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

This is one of my favorite songs. Whenever I hear it, I feel at peace. It really gets me thinking "what if the world was truly like this, what that be good or bad?" My sister also really likes this song, but she doesn't really understand the true meaning of it, even though I take the time to explain it to her, but she just says "So, what?" I still don't really want her to know what the world is truly like, yet. This song I think units those of all backgrounds and religions, giving them hope for a better future.
