From top to bottom: John Lennon, Yoko Ono. |
In Yoko Ono's 1963 book "Grapefruit", she wrote a poem entitled "Cloud Piece":
Imagine the clouds dripping.
Dig a hole in your garden to
put them in.
This inspired Lennon to write the atheist anthem, "Imagine", which was his take on world peace and harmony.
This performance comes from Emmanuel Kelly:
Lyrics:
Singer Emmanuel Kelly. |
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 may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday 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 may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
