New Version of Imagine

Imagine  by Sena Dogru
 
Imagine there is no school
It's possible if you close your eyes
No dark sky below us
Above us only shining sun
Imagine all the people
living happily together
Imagine there's no exam
It isn't hard to think
Nothing to struggle or study
And no worries too
Imagine all the people
smiling each other
You may say I'm a dreamer 
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll be thinking like me
And the world will be  better place
Imagine no competition
You'll be happy if you can
No need for status or money
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people 
are equal
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll be thinking like me
And the world be a heaven!
