Can you Imagine?

I was on the song analyzing run this week so here is my final one. Can you imagine a world that is perfect? Maybe but my guess is that if you can, it doesn't have a plan to get to there in the world. Your dreams skip the part of what has to happen so that they can actually be real. Heres one that doesn't.



John Lennon lived during a very strange and uncertain time in the world. We sometimes forget that they sixties were hard because all we see is hippies saying life is good. We block out the bad that they were fighting against and all the wrongs done to them. So, it is no wonder why John Lennon wrote this song. He wanted the world to be united and for the wars and fights to end. He was being slightly direct on what he thinks we need to do to make that happen but that is understandable. At least he understood that we were going to have to work hard to make world peace but he knew that it could eventually come. Peace isn't easy to achieve and Lennon wasn't blind to that but if we all believed what he did then there wouldn't be a problem making peace with everyone. Unity is the way.

How many of his ways do you think are possible?

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 may say that 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 may say that 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
