John Lennon: "Imagine"

Lenny Kravitz stated Lennon to be "an icon for peace" and his inspiring song, "Imagine", to be "one of the greatest songs ever". "Imagine" is a peaceful and uplifting song, which through time has continued to be used at countless emotional events. (Remembrance Day etc.) Lennon's considerable dream of peace became notable through these beautiful lyrics. The last stanza in "Imagine" speaks of Lennon's hope of the world to come together and join him on his quest for peace and his dreams that oneday "the world will live as one". Unfortunetly, Issues threatening peace are still prevalent all over the world today, which keep the "Imagine" spirit still very much alive among the human race. This song continues to elevate thought about what the world would really be like if "there [was] no countries", "no possessions", or "no religion". Just "Imagine", the world would be a completely different place.
