I wonder why the lyrics aren't available for this amazing song. Some of the most important & meaningful lyrics of all time, in my opinion.

Prejudice is the plauge of all that can be great about the human existence, and we are surrounded by it. This song, for a moment, was an elixir for that hatred. Unfortunetly , viruses adapt, and always find a way to conquer the purity of mankind.

CNK- It is the US vs John Lennon, as in when Nixon tried to get John deported for a number of years in the seventies. Rather well documented case.
Imagine if people did not have a belief in a religion, how many wars would have been avoided? Imagine if they were not trying to get to whatever version of heaven they ascribe to, how many terrorist bombings would there be? Maybe that is what John was trying to get us to think of. |

He was the best. Philip Normans new book "John Lennon - The Life" gives teh best insight to this incredible human being.

I love this song! One of my favorite Beatles songs ever. Beautiful tune, and what an amazing, touching message it conveys.

No one before or after can equal them (Lennon and McCartney)Yo u won't see their equal in this generation. Those that misunderstan d the feeling and meaning think way too much. Love the music for the music and the artist. Can you understand that.... DUH? No Religion, the man was making a reference to the fact that almost every major conflict on this earth was due to politics and YES RELIGION! Some people can be so dense.

If John could be here today.He'd no doubt be resideing on the space station in outer space.There is always hope that life will get better.

B Johnson3, it IS the Nutopian anthem. Nutopia has no currency, no religion, no borders, and universal laws. Every citizen is an ambassador of Nupotia. It's easy to imagine if you try...

*shake of head* this dude was messed up. A shame he let all that talent go to waste on songs singing of no heaven and religion. That is my 2 cents. (ps why is he going against the US?)
|

it should be the new national anthem, peace, that is what it is all about. As for the no religion, I don't think it is NO religion, I think he meant that we all got along, I believe he so hated war, he certainly was a genius, respected by many, copied by many more

Sometimes when I listen to this song, I actually do imagine a world such as that described in the song. Then the song ends and I wake up again to see how far we are from anything like this.
However, there is hope, theres me and everyone else that is inspired by this song. And John, we have joined you... |

I was in a private, christian elementary school when this came out, and I still remember at assembly, while we were having our daily indoctrinati o n deal, the speaker went off on a rant about this song. "Imagine no religion?!? BLASPHEMY!!! Imagine no possessions? ? ? Do you children want to grow up to be COMMUNISTS?! ? " Sigh. They just SO did not get it.

John Lennon is a god among songwriters. His talent and vision will never be matched.
