Imagine

　２００７年の始まりだ。今年はどんな年になることやら。昨日の紅白でジョン・レノンの「Imagine」が歌われていた。なぜ紅白でイマジンなのかは不明だが、初めて歌詞をきちんと見た気がする。

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 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 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

　You may say I'm a dreamer...なんだかこの歌詞が無性にこころに残るのはなぜだろう。とても人間味があって控えめで、素敵だ。。。
