Imagine
Danny Lerman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Imagine there's no heaven
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
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day 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, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one




I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

The song begins with the powerful lyrics, "Imagine there's no heaven, It's easy if you try, No hell below us, Above us only sky," suggesting the abolition of religion and the idea of a future where people can live freely without worrying about the afterlife. This theme is reinforced in the following lines, "Imagine all the people living for today," emphasizing the importance of living in the present and enjoying one's life without being held back by outdated beliefs and superstitions.


The second verse of the song further explores Lennon's vision of a world without borders, war or religious and economic disparity. The lines "Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too," boldly advocate for a unified global community that is free from the trappings of nationalism and religious extremism.

The final verse of "Imagine" calls for a society without materialistic values and one where people share the world's resources equally. The lines "Imagine no possessions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man," speak to the heart of Lennon's socialist ideals and his belief in the universal brotherhood of humanity.
