Saluting with misty eyes

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

In Memory of John Winston (Ono) Lennon  RIP

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

(big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, if there is one thing that we couldn't agree together more on, it is that I dream of a peaceful world without war, without prejudice, without tears and fear and anxiety, and I will keep imagining such a world! (sigh) This is beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bradly, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Saunii- Thank you very much.

passing shadows- With your talent, it is I that should be bowing to you. You are too kind.

ARH- There is no better than John, is there? And I don't think there will be for some time to come. Thank you for the kind words.

Noah- You are so right... the ONE thing we agree on *S*. Thanks again for the kind thoughts. And I love the pictures.

dingusjr- Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it this time around.

'Chelle, 'Chelle, 'Chelle... you just couldn't leave this well enlough alone,now could you??? lol. It means a great deal to me that a GWAR fan could enjoy this little scribble of mine... especially since it is about "soft" music. lol
*hugs*

Cause in my dreams it's always there
The evil face that twists my mind
And brings me to despair.

Ringo,,,dearest best friend of mine,,,,,juuuust because i worship at the shrine of GWAR, with side alters to manson and canibal corpse,,,,,doesn't mean i don't appreciate the soft, tender side of music as well,,,,,this girl knows how to express herself,,,me? subtle? hardly,,,,,but,,,the way you capture the heart of lennons words in your own,,,,,that, dear one, deserves as many kudos as I can muster,,,,,,
and yes,,,,,,
more hugs
Michelle

I wish all could find the true happiness I have found,,in the eyes of Mike
