[Verse 1: India.Arie]
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

[Chorus: India.Arie]
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you will join us
And the world will be as one

[Chorus 2: Oumou Sangare]

[Guitar solo: Jeff Beck]

[Verse 2: India.Arie]
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

[Chorus: India.Arie]
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you will join us
And the world will live as one

[Chorus 2: Oumou Sangare]

Herbert Jeffrey “Herbie” Hancock (born April 12, 1940) is an American pianist, keyboardist, bandleader, composer and actor from Chicago, Illinois.

In 1960 he began working with Donald Byrd and Coleman Hawkins. He recorded his first solo album “Takin' Off” for Blue Note Records in 1962. “Watermelon Man”. Thanks to the album he caught the attention of Miles Davis, who asks, in May 1963, Hancock to join his Second Great Quintet.

In the sixties he records two important albums in jazz “Empyrean Isles” (1964) and “Maiden Voyage” (1965), both for Blue Note. During this period, Hancock also composed the score to Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blowup (1966), the first of many film soundtracks he recorded in his career.
