What remains of "Imagine" - John Lennon ?
-----
It still happens to me at the end of the evening.
After the noise, the rhythm, the lack of meaning.
When everyone is tired, and the party is over.
then I play the song, put the volume lower
Everyone's gone,
Left this utopia, John.
"Imagine" was just a sweet dream
Of it barely remains a gleam
Is anyone home ?
To change everything now
Can we still, with a simple song,
Dream the same and tell right from wrong
Maybe there's no heaven but now i know the hell
We sell guns to a child, we say it's us or them
We fight for religion when it should bring us peace
We forgot the world, cowered in our countries
Everyone's gone,
Left this utopia, John.
"Imagine" was just a sweet dream
Of it barely remains a gleam
Is anyone home ?
To change everything now
Can we still, with a simple song,
Dream the same and tell right from wrong
When most dreamers have gone, john
How do we do to raise hope again ?
Everyone's gone
They left this utopia, John.
"Imagine" was just a sweet dream
Of it barely remains a gleam
Is anyone home
To change everything now
Can we still, with a simple song,
Dream the same and tell right from wrong
Is anyone home ?
Is anyone home ?
Is anyone home ?
Is there anyone home ?
