Lyrics

I mag ine there’s no heav en.

It’s eas y if you try.

No hell be low us,

a bove us on ly sky.

I mag ine all the peo ple

liv ing for to day.

Ah.

I mag ine there’s no coun tries.

It is n’t hard to do.

Noth ing to kill or die for

and no re li gion, too.

I mag ine all the peo ple

liv ing life in peace.

You,

you may say I’m a dream er.

But I’m not the on ly one.

I hope some day you’ll join us

and the world will be as one.

I mag ine no pos ses sions.

I won der if you can.

No need for greed or hun ger,

a broth er hood of man.

I mag ine all the peo ple

shar ing all the world.

You,

you may say I’m a dream er.

But I’m not the on ly one.

I hope some day you’ll join us

and the world will be as one.

I mag ine no pos ses and the world will be as one.
