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
It isn't hard to do
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 vision of a world with no division, no war and no religious conflicts is stressed upon. The song ends with the message of the brotherhood of man, emphasizing the need for unity and the sharing of the world's resources.
The song "Imagine" has become one of the most popular and influential songs of all time. It has been covered by numerous artists and is often played at events promoting world peace. The song was written by John Lennon in 1971, and it is considered one of his most iconic songs. He wrote the song during a time of global unrest and desired to share his vision of a world full of peace and love. Lennon's inspiration for the song came from a book of poems and aphorisms given to him by his wife, Yoko Ono. The book was by Ono's former husband, who was a famous Japanese artist.
