Every countrys had a violent revolution for one reason or the other, not one of them has the freedom were all talking about. So were saying give peace a chance, you know, like nobodys ever done it before. And its not a matter of... were not thinking in terms of ten years, were thinking in terms of peace forever.
Close your eyes, imagine our youth playing peacefully
Getting along with one another in their community
No fights, no feuds, no issues and no trouble
Not even a place which those things can bubble
Where a child can grow up to be a lawyer or doctor
Or even an eye in the sky in a news helicopter
As opposed to growing up with very little care
Risking being killed for the colours that they wear
Where the only gunfights theyre in is make believe
And where Capture The Flags the only time theyre thieves
Where their family has enough money to pay the monthly rent
And it doesnt matter whether theyre the 1 or the 99 percent
Where kids dont see poverty or homelessness on their streets
Where any problems they do have get solved in a heartbeat
Now open your eyes, how do those images make you feel?
Now ask yourself one question: Why cant they all become real?
You may say Im a dreamer
But Im not the only one
I hope some day youll join us
And the world will be as one
Now
Close your eyes for a second time like youre blocking sunlight
And imagine a family from Mexico wanting a new life
So they move to the United States, the land of the free
Or at least thats what The Star-Spangled Banner claims to be
Amd they managed to settle down in a new home with ease
And their children feel so fresh like a spray of Febreeze
Where they go to school with no sense of cornucopia
And live their lives with flying colours in this utopia
Where the Statue of Liberty actually means an icon of freedom
Where Beaverhead-Deelodge is a modern Garden of Eden
Where religions are preached and accepted by one and all
Where Donald Trump cancelled his plans to build his wall
Where the borders are beautiful to look at every day
Where the Phelps Family dont protest you for being gay
Now open your eyes and see that doesnt have to stay a dream
Just hope one day, those things become a reality
For this third verse, close your eyes for the last time
And picture a man in a city that has no poverty or crime
And he can practice his religion without any conflict
Where his race and religion doesnt class him as a convict
Everyday, his prayers give him massive waves of relief
Because he knows he wont die for all the things he believes
Whilst the life he lives gives him nothing but pleasent twists
Since in this timeline, al-Qaeda & ISIS dont exist
Imagine a world where theres no such thing as war
Only a home for people to love, care and adore
Imagine a world where the Twin Towers never fell down
Imagine America & China put their superpowered feud underground
Imagine a world where our peaceful ways go so far
Imagine a world where you are accepted for who you are
Our dreams alone wont bring the planet out of the dark
But I know those dreams are a damn good place to start
So just imagine....
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You...
Everybodys talking about now, I want peace now. We can get peace now if we want it now, and the left wing talk about giving, the power to the people. You know? Anybody knows that, the people have the power. All we have to do is awaken the power in the people. The people are unaware, its like theyre not educated to realise, that they have power...
