Helen’s prompt for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday is “Healing.” The song that came to my mind when I read the prompt was John Lennon’s Imagine. Its tune and lyrics have touched me from the first time I heard it. I believe that only healing would lead us to the world that he so powerfully describes. May his dream become a reality some day.
Imagine was written and sung by John Lennon in 1971.
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… Aha-ah…
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today… Aha-ah…
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…
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…
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… 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
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world… You… 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

I LOVE this choice. It truly is the most healing song I can think of. I posted two songs myself, the second one in honor of your choice…
Thanks.

I love this choice too. It’s simply perfect!
I remembered after listening to John Lennon that Pentatonix just released a version of it, so I went and listened to that as well. I think you’ll like the message they had to share, so I’m taking some liberties and posting the link here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLiWFUDJ95I
Thanks so much for sharing this today. I needed this particular message again. ❤
