Beatles were popular before I was born, it was in an era when hippies were around promoting peace, and wars are killing people outside of North America.
To the present time, it seems like nothing has really changed through the years.
Except the hippies back then started wars which are killing people again outside of North America.
The melody and lyrics of "Imagine" by John Lennon is quite simple, yet still quite memorable. I have a strong suspision that John was on something when he wrote this song to make it so lucid...
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
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
As a Taiwanese, I get 3 wishes on my birthdays, and I have to tell people the first two. The first wish has always been "world peace". yap, like what's in the movie "Miss Congeniality". Somehow, that wish never came true...
