Imagine

Imagine… It was sung by John Lennon some 40 years ago for the first time, and then performed by many other singers and artists. I have always loved it since then, although I was a little kid. Maybe that's why I’d prefer the performances by Diana Ross and especially Nana Mouskouri which belong to my youth, years of life and love. See the 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 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 one.

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
no need for greed nor 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.
