Imagine the world with no borders
No boundaries to fight about
Imagine the peace and love
And no need for the doubt
Think of a world with no leader
No rats to run the race
And every single loved one
Has a single face
A vision of the light above me
Shining into the corners
Feeling of joy, for the terminal mourners
A voice, on the speaker
Hums a mellow song
And together we're the ones
Who've loved you all along
Loved you all along
Now the place of which I'm speaking
Has yet to arrive
But I hope to see this place
While I'm still alive
The thoughtless of today
Have yet to feel the urge
Yet the day will come
When our minds and our souls will merge
