Amnesty International and Imagine

Amnesty International and Yoko Ono teamed up recently in a new campaign for human rights. Using John Lennons song Imagine (which I posted here), Amnesty recreated the song in a video with children passing along their dreams for a better world. I am a big fan of the song, and am now a big fan of the campaign. Here is the video for your viewing pleasure:

Imagine - By John Lennon

I wanted to share the words of a visionary after my own heart. This was John Lennon's Ideal World and I think it is a good one.



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
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
