Imagine there's no Heaven It's easy if you try The violence in the streets People defiling His works Destroying for their own gain No Hell below us Because it has over flowed And lies breathing in the gutters Above us only sky Colored gray and various hues of brown Pollution breathing in our air Imagine all the people living for today Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do With the global economy Our allies fight us for greed Playing both sides they will win Nothing to kill or die for If there is no love inside But only hate for all mankind And no religion, too For the preachers are in it for greed and sin Send your cash, do as I say not do Imagine all the people living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer Because that's all I have left to give But I'm not the only one There is a movement growing I hope someday you'll join us And make this world a better place Then the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can Giving freely, yours and mine If I help not my brother I have nothing in the end No need for greed or hunger Prepare the way for the Lord And you shall have all you need A brotherhood of man Where none see the color only what's inside Hatred and lies but a memory Imagine all the people sharing all the world You may say I'm a dreamer Yet you wish you could dream as well But I'm not the only one The voices growing ever louder I hope someday you'll join us All join hands and we'll pray for peace Then the world will live as one ************************** At the request of a DM, I am supposed to inform everyone that didn't know already that the italicized words are the property of John Lennon's estate and may not be used except for personal reasons without the expressed written permission of Apple Records, and EMI Music publishing. We are all equal but we’re individually different and able to reach the impossible if we try. [This message has been edited by Ringo (09-29-2003 02:20 PM).] |

  (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I too pray for this peace and will continue to imagine through John Lennon's eyes and hear through his ears! (wipes tears) John Lennon is truly THE voice of rock and roll and THE voice of a finest man of conviction and love for all of humanity! (smiles) You have done so much justice for him, sweet friend, God Bless You, and beginning with us, may we spread hands to one another and make the world be as one, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ringo, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
