David Archuleta - Imagine Lyrics
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing for 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
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
Take my hand and join us
And the world will live, will live as one.
A Los Angeles Times article speculated why Archuleta avoided singing the first verse of “Imagine”: because “of his religion, he’s unlikely to espouse the song’s agnostic ideal . . . with the line about ‘no religion too.’”
Archuleta did, however, sing the entire song on Good Things Utah when he was 13. During his first performance of Imagine on American Idol, when asked by judge Randy Jackson why he didn’t sing the first verse, Archuleta said the third verse was his favorite because it has “a great message.”After his “Imagine” performance, the judges said he was “the one to beat”.
