Imagine
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try And no Hell below us Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today Imagine there's no country It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one Maybe someday you will join us And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger Or 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
And maybe someday you will join us
And the world will be as one
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one Maybe someday you will join us And the world will be as one.
John Lennon
John Winston Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an
English musician and singer-songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as one
of the founding members of The Beatles,
one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts
in the history of popular music. Along with fellow Beatle Paul McCartney, he formed one of the most successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century.Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved as a teenager in the skiffle craze; his first band, The Quarrymen, evolved into The Beatles in 1960. As the group disintegrated towards the end of the decade, Lennon embarked on a solo career that produced the critically acclaimed albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After his marriage to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to his infant son Sean, but re-emerged in 1980 with a new album, Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks after its release. Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and acerbic wit in his music, his writing, his drawings, on film, and in interviews, becoming controversial through his political and peace activism. He moved to New York City in 1971, where his criticism of the Vietnam War resulted in a lengthy attempt by Richard Nixon's administration to deport him, while some of his songs were adopted as anthems by the anti-war movement. As of 2010, Lennon's solo album sales in the United States exceed 14 million units, and as writer, co-writer or performer, he is responsible for 25 number-one singles on the US Hot 100 chart. In 2002, a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted him eighth, and in 2008, Rolling Stone ranked him the fifth-greatest singer of all-time. He was posthumously inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987 and into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994. If you like we can sing the song all together. |
