Retake on Imagine by John Lennon

5 posts in this topic

Hope this is OK to post. I have been watching a lot of Leo's videos and I have made my own version of Imagine, loosely based on concepts kind of relevant to the videos I've seen. Hope you like. 

Imagine there's no earth
It's easy if you try.
Only hell within us
And heaven in our minds. 
Imagine all the people not afraid to die

Imagine non existence
It isn't hard to do
Nothing is all you ever were
There's no such thing as "you"
Imagine all the people making peace with that

You may say I'm a dreamer,
Well they say that life's a dream 
I hope some day you'll wake up
And realise what it's always been. 

Imagine your progression
I wonder if you can. 
Into a selfless being
An enlightened man.
Imagine all the people who never get that far.

You may say I'm a dreamer
Well they say that life's a dream
I hope some day you'll wake up
And realise what it's always been

Before I got into this, I always considered that song at something akin to The Communist Manifesto, set to music. I've come now to look at it as a beautifully hopeful song about peace.

Your version is nice, very creative!

I always felt like the song was good enough on it's own. The advice in it leads to quite an enlightened life after all
