I guess you could say my version of Imagine is pro-life, since a Catholic can’t be otherwise.

IMAGINE REVISED
By Fredi D’Alessio

Imagine there’s a Heaven,
It’s easy if you try,
A hell below us,
Above us Holy sky,
Imagine all the people
Living for God’s way ~

Imagine there’s no hatred
It isn’t hard to do,
No cause to kill or die for,
And one religion too,
Imagine all the people
Living in Christ’s 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 believes as one

Imagine shared possessions,
I wonder if you can,
No deeds of greed, no 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 Love as one
