Lyrics

Imagine
Music and Lyrics by John Lennon
Rap by Peter Link

[Jenny]
Imagine there’s no heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
[Everyone]
Imagine all the people
Living for today

[Jenny]
Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
[Backups]
Just imagine that
[Jenny]
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
[Backups]
One

[Jenny]
(whispered) Imagine

[Rap]
[Jenny]
Imagine this
Imagine that
Everybody wearin’ the same hat
[Darryl]
Imagine nations living all as one
[Jenny]
Everybody workin’ in unison
[Darryl]
One people
One goal
One mind
One soul
Everybody eatin’ from the same bowl
Everybody diggin’ the same hole

[Jenny]
No masters
No slaves
No chiefs and no braves
Everybody learnin’ just how to behave
[Darryl]
Every little thing under God’s control
Nobody runnin’ roughshod
[Everybody]
One God

[Jenny]
(whispered) Imagine

Imagine no possessions
[Darryl]
Imagine no possessions
[Jenny]
I wonder if you can
[Darryl]
I wonder if you can
[Jenny]
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

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 live as one

[Darryl]
Livin’ in sympathy
In unity
[Everyone]
One big happy family
[Darryl]
Annuity
Solidarity
Communion
[Everyone]
One
[Jenny]
You may say that I’m a dreamer
[Darryl]
That’s right
[Jenny]
But I’m not the only one

[Darryl]
Imagination-wise
Good vibes
No tribes
Same sides
Besides everybody be pacified
Satisfied
[Jenny]
Dignified
[Darryl]
Refried and allied
[Everyone]
Transmogrified
[Darryl]
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can

[Everyone]
Unified
Magnified
[Jenny]
Demystified inside
Purified
Sanctified
And simplified
[Darryl]
Every little thing under God’s control
[Jenny]
Nobody runnin’ roughshod
[Everyone]
One God
Imagine

[Jenny]
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one (Imagine everybody)
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Just imagine
Hey

[Everyone]
Just imagine
[Jenny]
One
[Everyone]
One
[Jenny]
One God
[Everyone]
One God
[Jenny]
One People
[Everyone]
One People
[Jenny]
One World
[Everyone]
One World
One
