Imagine (by John Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try 
No hell below us 
Imagine all the people 
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries 
It isn't hard to do 
Nothing to kill or die for 
For the religious 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 some day 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 and sisterhood of woman and 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 some day you'll join us 
And the world will live as one

*Revised 
 

Do not stand at my grave and weep, 
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am in a thousand winds that blow.
I am the softly falling snow.
I am the gentle showers of rain, 
I am the fields of ripening grain. 
I am in the morning hush, 
I am in the graceful rush
Of beautiful birds in circling flight, 
I am the starshine of the night.
I am in the flowers that bloom,
I am in a quiet room.
I am in the birds that sing,
I am in each lovely thing.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, 
I am not there. I do not die.

~Mary Elizabeth Frye
