Imagine
dustbox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The woman prays for eternal peace
Looking at a broken bridge
She hides her tears in folded hands
Under the moon that looks so sad
She′s singing a tender song
Believing that people can be one
No more lies
Who sows the seeds of discord?
In my eyes, this world has gone utterly insane
She's singing as she kneels on the ground
Oh she holds a new life within her
Imagine
Your sky′s full of stars
Imagine
Darkness fades away
The endless rain stops
And children will run wildly
On the sand of a rainbow
Imagine
Your city's full of lights
Imagine
Your scars fade away
The seasons change again
And a brand new flower is blooming
I just want to see your smile
The earth is shedding bloody tears
Who opened Pandora's box?
People are arguing with each other
A boy had some doubts about TV news
He′s singing an angry song
He′s wearing a T-shirt that says "No Nukes"
No more lies
Who sows the seeds of discord?
In my eyes, this world has gone utterly insane
He cries out at enemies he can't see
While enduring the harsh criticisms of reality
Imagine
Your sky′s full of stars
Imagine
Darkness fades away
Hypocrites fade in the rain
And you'll smile with your true friends
On the sand of a rainbow
Imagine
Your city′s full of lights
Imagine
Your scars fade away
The seasons change again
And a brand new wind is blowing
I just want to see your smile
Oh Oh Oh
I saw the light in the hands we held
The pain we shared before
Became the warm lights
That wrapped me up
And darkness fades away
Imagine
Your city's full of lights
Imagine
Your scars fade away
The seasons change again
And a brand new flower is blooming
I just want to see your smile
An old woman said smiling
Can we meet again?




So I replied shaking hands
Oh yes, Of course
