I’ve heard this song 1000 times but for some reason writing this down verse by verse, it really hit me how profound these words are and how much insight John Lennon had for his time. Wouldn’t it be beautiful if we were all dreamers?
I don’t like to debate religion as I believe everyone has the right to believe what they want, for me personally, I take it coming from more of a spiritual sense than, for lack of a better term, an organized religion point of view where people are fighting over it. This was written when Ireland was in turmoil along with many other things. But I am someone with Christian beliefs, so I do see where you’re coming from and appreciate your comment.

The Free World Charter is a statement of Principles that has the potential to optimize life for all species on Earth, eradicate poverty and greed, and advance progress.
Neither political nor religious, Could These ten short Principles form the foundation of a new, advanced society that uses the money, is free, fair and sustainable. They are based Solely on Nature, common sense and survival.
The Free World Charter is now widely Considered a logical progression out of the failing common mechanisms of today’s society, and a natural step in our evolution.

Thank you so much!
I think it is amazing that few people realize this song is anti religion.

Well said, Chris.
What a marvelous treatment of John’s tune!
BTW…I’m a ‘dreamer’, too!
Thank you ~ I know it’s not an idealistic world but somebody has to believe in a better world.
beautifully done.
Thanks, Polly.
