Imagine

Imagine - John Lennon

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.

ทีแรกนึกถึงอยู่ว่ามีเรื่องที่อยากจะเขียนพอควร แต่นึกดูแล้วคิดว่าเพลงนี้ก็ค่อนข้างสื่อสิ่งที่คิดอยู่ได้เกือบทั้งหมดทีเดียว

Memory

Midnight,
Not a sound from the pavement,
Has the moon lost her memory;
She is smiling alone.
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet.
And the wind begins to moan.

Memory,
All alone in the moonlight,
I can dream of the old days;
Life was beautiful then.
I remember
The time I knew what happiness was.
Let the memory live again.

Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning.
Someone mutters and the street lamp gutters,
And soon it will be morning.

Daylight,
I must wait for the sunrise,
I must think of a new life;
And I mustn't give in.
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too.
And a new day will begin.

Burnt out ends of smoky days,
The stale cold smell of morning;
A street lamp dies, another night is over,
Another day is dawning.

Touch me,
It is so easy to leave me,
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun.
If you touch me,
You'll understand what happiness is.

Look, a new day has begun...
