Imagine there's no Heaven

Where do we go when we die? I have never found myself even second guessing that I want to go to heaven but now I’m having trouble imagining there is one. What if I didn’t go to hell if I was bad? What if there is no such thing … neither of them exist. The sky seems so big and blue to me. Its never ending. Where are we in this universe? When I look up I see today … imagine if everyone did?


It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

When I first came to New York City I was 14 years old. Who knows where I was before that. Sometimes I know that I was actually born here. But before I was here I couldn’t see. I was blind and I couldn’t see. No one had tried to cure me because they were all blind too, so no one knew there was anything wrong. They got up in the morning and got me up. They drove me to school, they drank halfcafdecafmochachinogoldfrapplattes on the way. They quoted the bible and took me somewhere every Sunday where this guy spoke about places we were going to go when we died and how we should only act a certain way to please this certain person. Sometimes when the kids would fall in the playground their blood would show but their mothers would cover it quick so no one would know they were human. They hung the flag of their country out the window


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


I heard this song coming out of the window. All the sudden thoughts that I never knew possible came into my head. Why couldn’t the world be exactly how he described? A man looked at me from the window and smiled. He mouthed something that looked like “You need this.” But ill never know because as fast as he came was as fast as he left.


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
