I think we all need this right about now..read - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Imagine there's no heaven,
it's easy if you try,
no hell below us,
above us only sky.
Imagine all the people,
living for today yu-huh.

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 yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
and the world will be as one.

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
no need for greed or hunger,
a brotherhood of man.
Imagine all the people,
sharing all the world yu-huh.
You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us,
and the world will be as one.

The first verse is depressing, but the 2nd and 3rd ones are nice.

This song describes the current situation in New Orelans perfectly.

Blind - Family

(Whitney / Chapman)

Blind boy, although you wish you could see,
I've often thought if you could be me,
Have eyes to see pictures of people in pain.
And it looks like I'll see 'em again, again.

Deaf man, although you sure want to hear,
Would you turn your ears to shots that are near
Sounds of a city in near civil war,
And it seems like you'd hear it some more, more.

And here we sit now with nothing to do,
Just give out a song and hope it rings true
To those not so deaf but who lead us so blind.
May it soon be approaching their time, time.

Truly the greatest song EVER written

Karen* · 09-05-2005, 02:02 AM

It's a nice song, but it makes me sad.

Mr. Cranky · 09-07-2005, 11:25 PM

No Heaven, no religion, no countries, no possessions. I'll pass.

Tuesday Weld · 09-08-2005, 12:09 PM

It's a good, but sad song.

Yes, very idealistic but what he was saying is that these things cause trouble in the world. I understand that. But human nature will always screw things up.
No two people or countries will ever think alike. This was his idea of Utopia which will never happen in the real world.

That's why he states that "Maybe you think I'm a dreamer" Something that can never happen in the real world. But we can hope.........................

A beautiful song!

John Fogarty (Creedence Clearwater Revival) said it best concerning war , the real world, and "patriotism"

folks are born made to wave the flag,
ooh, they're red, white and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail To The Chief",
oh, they point the cannon at you, Lord,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no senator's son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no,

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord, the house look a like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no.

Yeh, some folks inherit star spangled eyes,
ooh, they send you down to war, Lord,
And when you ask them, how much should we give,
oh, they only answer, more, more, more, yoh,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no military son,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one,

It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate one, no no no,
It ain't me, it ain't me,
I ain't no fortunate son, no no no,

- John C, Fogerty

I can never listen to that song without being at least a little teary. But just reading the lyrics doesn't get the same effect.
