[Verse 1]
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try, yeah
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Well, imagine all the people
Living (Living), living (Living), living for today

[Verse 2]
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't very hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for, no
And no religion, too
So you just imagine all the people
They just living (Living), living (Living), living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I am not the only one
But you know, I hope someday you will join us
And the whole wide world will live as one
Hear me, yes, the whole wide world will live as one

Hear me, the whole wide world will live as one
Yeah
