Imagine Happy

Yesterday I found myself talking about the same thing most of us are talking about this week. Guns. As the discussion came to a close, my eyes filled with tears.  I felt lost in a world where killing and war are the only way we know. For a moment, I felt like I must be the only one in the universe who imagines a world where weapons don't exist, where war is not the answer. 

Then my heart opened up and I knew that I am far from alone. I know we are the majority...we are the dreamers of the dreams. 

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

- John Lennon
