We're Not The Only Ones

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 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
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

---"Imagine" by John Lennon


I posted these lyrics two years ago on this date and have since decided to make it an annual effort. Not only because I hold these lyrics extremely close to me, but at the very least I owe that much to John's memory.

It's been twenty-six years now (to the day) since John was shot four times in the back on the sidewalk of his own home. When he died at the hospital two hours later, we all lost something very special.

Imagine if he were still with us...



We will always miss you, John!
