It will never happen, but we can still 'imagine' John Lennon's dreams coming true.
John Lennon, picture this,
A world with peace.
A place with no destruction,
That's the place to be.

John Lennon, picture this,
Your life still standing.
Guns not used on humans,
Love's what we're demanding.

If only that were how it is,
But we know that's not true.
War is waging everywhere,
We might not see it through.

John Lennon picture this,
Flowers on a hilltop.
Streams with clear water,
All fear comes to a stop.

John Lennon picture this,
Your dream coming true.
Peace at last, hearts at one,
Love in the name of you.

If only that were how it is,
But we know that's not true.
War is waging everywhere,
We might not see it through.

John Lennon picture this,
A world with peace.
A place with no destruction,
That's the place to be.



This could also be a poem, but I prefer it as a song. Also the repeat of the two stanzas at the end would be more lyrical than poetic anyway.
