John Lennon
Imagine if he'd lived,
The words he would have sung,
The songs he could have crafted
Had he not died so young.
Imagine if he'd lived,
If death could be reversed.
Would he still be promoting peace
Across the universe?
Imagine if he'd lived,
Would people still believe
That he was just a dreamer
Dreaming double fantasies?
Imagine if he'd lived,
The truths he would have sought.
But instant karma failed him
With one fool and four shots.
Imagine if he'd lived -
But we're the dreamers now
Dreaming of the many ways
To make the wheels go 'round
