'Imagine' by John Lennon / Yoko Ono Lyrically Revisited in New World English..

I've got a theory on the go that stems from an understanding that all things including words & thought carry a vibrational signature that ripples out into the universe thus manifesting & calling into creation that which is being described. So, upon thinking that the most lyrically powerful song in the world was 'Imagine' by John Lennon / Yoko Ono - I suddenly realized that it was full of as much negatively charged ideas as positive. I thus endeavored to remove all the negative & replace with positive in a creatively responsible way:


Imagine there is no heaven
It's easy if you try
Just Earth below us
Up above us only sky
Imagine all the people, living for today..

Imagine there is only one country
It is rather easy to do
Something to be alive for
It could be so cool
Imagine all the people, living life in peace..

You may say I'm a dreamer
but I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one..

Imagine pure intentions
I wonder if you can
Go feed your neighbor
A siblinghood of man
Imagine all the people, sharing all the world..

You might've thought I was once a dreamer
Well I wasn't the only one
I knew someday we would join hands
And the world now lives as one.
