“Imagine” 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 that 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 that 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

Main Topics Discussed in “Imagine” Nutopia: The Country of Peace John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono created this concept of a perfect world without religion, government, no land boundaries, and no set rules. Basically the people would govern themselves through personal morality.

Coloration to Us What is going on in the world today that compares to the Progressive movement of the 60s? Would this concept of a perfect, peaceful world still be able to be created today? What can we modify or add to John Lennon’s belief? Or should it just be opposed all together?

Let’s create our own verse… Must have 6 lines With the 2 nd and 4 th lines rhyming Thoughts for an opening line?

Wrap Up! This was an example of a social interaction within a group through the use of music therapy. Finale gave the therapist the ability to create and share the work that the group of clients participated in. This verse the class wrote can be added to the score and printed.
