Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
Nothing to kill or die for
No religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say I'm a dreamer
I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
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
And you
You may say that I'm a dreamer
I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
The song "Imagine" by Avril Lavigne is a cover of the iconic 1971 song by John Lennon. The lyrics talk about a utopian world where there is no religion, no heaven, no countries, and no possessions. The song is a call for unity and peace in the world today, and encourages people to live for the present moment and to work towards building a better future for everyone, devoid of any divisions or differences.
The first verse, "Imagine there's no Heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky," talks about how religion creates a divide among people, and imagining a world where there is no concept of heaven or hell brings people together towards a common goal. In the second verse, "Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, No religion too," emphasizes the need for a world without borders, where there is no violence or hatred based on ethnicity or religion.
The final verse, "Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man," highlights the importance of sharing resources and coming together as a community to address poverty and inequality. The chorus, "You may say I'm a dreamer, I'm not the only one, I hope someday you'll join us, And the world will be as one," encourages people to join hands and work towards this shared vision of a peaceful and harmonious world.

This is the first version I had heard this song. I started to know this origin from ‘John Lennon’ because my dad told me while I sang this song in the car. However, I still love her voice with this song…. And love origin version too. The greatest song ever.
