Over 20 years ago, Melinda and I had a conversation about death and music. She wanted to hear "Imagine" by John Lennon. Playing it for you now, Sweetie. Rest in peace and look out for us earthly guys, huh? Imagine Imagine there’s no heaven, It’s easy if you try, No hell below us, 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, No religion too, Imagine all the people Living life in peace... 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 I’m a dreamer, But I’m not the only one, I hope some day you’ll join us, And the world will live as one.
