THE GREATEST LYRICS EVER What, in your opinion, would be the most profound lyrics ever written? I have many personal favorites, but mostly it is just a line or two from the song that grabs me. ‘Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds’ from Bob Marley’s Redemption Song for example. Or ‘People live in cages that are tailor-made and come in every size’ from Michel Colombier’s Freedom and Fear.

Ultimately though, John Lennon gets my first prize

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that 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 no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
