The Beatles are the greatest pop group of all-time. Arguably the most successful entertainers of the 20th century, they contributed to music, film, literature, art, and fashion, made a continuous impact on popular culture and the lifestyle of several generations. Their songs and images carrying powerful ideas of love, peace, help, and imagination evoked creativity in many artists. John Lennon and Paul McCartney were the primary lyricists, and wrote songs that are timeless even today.

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 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 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

The lyrics in the verses tell us that if everyone acts in a peaceful way, then world peace is possible. They’re telling us to imagine this peace and not to lose sight of it. If there are enough people that could “Imagine” then it could come true. 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...

The lyrics of the chorus tell us that some people may think that this peace is not possible. That if we feel this way, we are simply “dreamers”. However it also says that we are not alone. If all of the dreamers came forward and worked together, the peace we hope for could one day be reality.
