V1:
These days I spend time wonderin’
If we’re all just out of tune
And all’s we’d need is a little tunin’ up
But this dissonance I hear
Among the human race
Has got some harmony behind it bubblin’ up
V2:
Imagine for a minute
If we all found common ground
Around what’s beautiful, good and true...
A future where we’re all in love
With the fact that we’re all one
Imagine all the great things we could do
CHORUS:
If we all, just got it right
What would it feel like to get it it right
If we all-imagined-all-of-us
Flourishing and free
Imagine what a life this could be
V3:
And what if education became something all kids love
Where testing was replaced with building skills
Where imagination, play and curiosity
Was part of learning, this would help them get off pills!
V4:
Imagine if our work day was just four days a week
And the rest was spent on doin’ the things we loved
Like connecting with community, friends and family
How many other things can you think of?
CHORUS
V5:
What if instead of growing
We focused on things thriving
On healing and protecting life on earth (pick it up)
Where instead of GDP the measure of success
Was the well being of humanity….and ALL life for Pete’s sake!
