[Verse 1]
Old pirates, yes, they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships
Just moments after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the Almighty
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly
Imagine all the people
Living for today

[Verse 2]
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
Only ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill our prophets
While we stand beside and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We've got to fulfill the book
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

[Chorus]
You (Won't you help me sing these songs of freedom?)
You may say I'm a dreamer (All I ever have)
But I'm not the only one (Redemption song, redemption song)
I hope someday you'll join us (All I ever have)
And the world will live as one (Redemption song)
[Verse 3]
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 for the day

[Chorus]
You (Won't you help me sing these songs of freedom?)
You may say I'm a dreamer (All I ever have)
But I'm not the only one (Redemption song, redemption song)
I hope someday you'll join us (All I ever have)
And the world will live as one (Redemption song)
