Re-Imagine Lyrics

Imagine there's no heaven when you're dying and in pain

It's easy if you try and you turn off half your brain

No hell below us but nothing real to gain

Above us only sky as you circle round the drain

Imagine all the people living for today

Forgetting all about you as they run outside to play

Imagine there's no countries just commies east and west

It isn't hard to do when you're under house arrest

Nothing to kill or die for as long as you've confessed

And no religion too but the chairman must be blessed

Imagine all the people living life in peace

Working where the party says with no hope of release

Imagine no possessions in winter when it snows

I wonder if you can I think I will need some clothes

No need for greed or hunger or shoes to warm your toes

A brotherhood of man where half of them just froze

Imagine all the people sharing all the earth

Hoarding every little thing that might have future worth

You may say I'm a dreamer at last we can agree

But I'm not the only one misery loves company

I hope someday you'll join us when two plus two makes three

And the world will be as one bad people, good world impossibility

Imagine now we are sinners just like the bible teaches

A slither of ungrateful, sick and selfish little leaches

Righteousness a far-off thing that no one ever reaches

Repent, confess and ask for grace just like the preacher preaches

Imagine all the people with Jesus as their king

Loving with the kind of love that only he can bring
