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...
Ok, so no countries or religion = peace?
I'm unsure I buy that - all of us the world over living as one COUNTRY under one government? Now THAT sounds like a weird religious idea right there.
How many of the wars we've seen in just the past 200 years were 'civil' wars?
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 as one
I do share his thought, that we all live in peace as one. The difference between me and Lennon, is that I grew into an adult and he never did.
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...
Where has that ever happened? When has it ever happened?
NEVER.
