John Lennon wrote these words in the 70s to protest war and division and his words ring true now more than ever! Here is our arrangement on the What Have You Gone and Done Album. Close your eyes and Imagine!


Carolyn Dutton- violin

Peter Kienle - guitar

Monika Herzig - pino

Frank Smith - bass

Kenny Phelps- drums

Imagine

John Lennon


Imagine there's no heaven

It's easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people

Livin' 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

Livin' life in peace


You may say 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 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
