Stephan from Pw, NyVery good :P on the other hand you did give a good argument for what you heard and for that I congratulate you...but im 16 and everyone I told about this thought that the argument was funny lol Jay from Atlanta, GaTo Linda in London Alabama: You and your grandfather are both right, John and everyone else would say anything to make money. Even today His next charted record after the 'Sir Lew' special would be "(Just Like) Starting Over"; it reached #1 {for 5 weeks} on the Top 100 on December 21st, 1980 and spent close to a half-year on the chart {22 weeks}...

Marie From The Edge Of The Stars from OregonINFP's don't take this song as literally as the people here commenting (I believe).

Imagine a Day is a children's picture book created by painter Rob Gonsalves, and writer Sarah L. Thomson. This book is the second book in companion to two other children's literature books, which also have a collection of Gonsalves paintings. Imagine a Night was the first to be published in 2003, followed by Imagine a Day published in 2005, and most recently Imagine a Place was published in 2008. [1] In the last year, dozens of US communities—from West Virginia to Mississippi to New Mexico—experienced devastating impacts to their water systems due to ice storms, heavy rains, flooding, drought, and failing infrastructure. These impacts require expensive repairs to ensure consistent provision of water services to communities. Due to the burden on customers to be the primary source of funding for infrastructure improvements, many people experience multi-day service interruptions because of the inability to pay increasingly higher water bills. Jessica from Kannapolis, Nejohn Lennon is a grest person who just wanted every person to be equal . He truley was a saint . Imagine all the people believing as they should! You can go there if you would – just place your faith in Him.? ?Praying that you will! Yes U o Oooo. . .? Brandon from Peoria, IlI'm sorry, but your argument does not match the lyrics. It does, however, match what everyone else has said. This is simply my own interpretation, which I feel matches the lyrics exactly. Like I said, the lyrics are symple, but so many others have engrained their ideas into your mind that it complicates things. I'll leave you with this: If this song was about a true Utopia, why would people be living life in fear? He says that with no country or religion we would live life in fear. I don't know about you, but living life in fear isn't something I would want to do in a utopian society.Michael from Los Angeles, CaI don't understand while people are refuting the fact that this song is about a communist utopia. The song "Imagine" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart on October 17th, 1971 at position #20; and three weeks later on November 7th, 1971 it peaked at #3 {for 2 weeks} and spent 9 weeks on the Top 100 {it reached #1 in Australia, Canada, Italy, South Africa, Ireland, and the United Kingdom in 1980}... Sgm from Manchester UkHere it is 2020 and this song, although a pretty melody, could not scream any more than globalisim, socialism, communism! No religion, no possessions, nothing to kill or die for(guns), join us! No countries, one world! Fits what is going on now, 2020, and shows how long they have brainwashing people. Making it sound so beautiful, not! Look at cuba, Venezuela... Look at what has happened to the UK. John left out, stravation, deterioration, controlled by hugh government, killings by the hundreds for speaking against the giant govenment. Funny but John sure loved his possessions! I think the song should be banned! Look how schools of young children who learn this for school plays, etc... God help future generations! Jake from Burke, VaIn my mind, Imagine is the best song in Lennon's entire career, either as a Beatle or as a solo artist. Robert from Virginia Beach, VaThis song is great, the lyrics are powerful yet subdued, the melody is timeless and despite some critics the message is absolutely positive. If you take the words in this song at their text book definitions and refuse to read between the lines than you may get offended and never truly understand the big picture. Take a moment to think about living in a world as imagined by John Lennon in this song, take away Material Possessions (wealth, status, greed, envy....etc.) Religion (holy wars, terrorism, religious persecution...etc.) Countries (war, tyranny, oppression...etc.) If the world truly lived as one your only responsibility would be to wake up and breathe, enjoy your life.

The unity in God simply can not produce divides. Itâ??s our imperfect understanding and actions alone that produce the divides and blinds us from the unity that binds us. And it seems to me, diversity is Godâ??s way of saying, â??unite all believers of the world !â? in the style of the Marxian version for workers. This is so apparent when one reads the sacred scriptures of the worlds religions. One would find so many overlapping essence throughout, expressed in different wordings, in different languages, and in different contexts, with the prime example being the â??Golden Ruleâ? : Love thy neighbour.The song is powerful, and if more people listened to Lennon's message the world might be just a bit more peaceful.
