Imagine there"s a paradise
A perfect spot to live and die
No violence, but only love
It"s nice to dream, but it"s not enough
To face the troubles day by day
Personal and in a global way
We try to live in unity
But too often we disagree
God, I don"t understand
Why things happen the way they do
The easiest way is blaming you
But God, I believe you are the one
I can trust and rely upon
I am safe here with you
Our justice comes with guns and wars
With human bombs we can"t ignore
The world was changed in another way
When WTC was hit that day
There seems to be no place on earth
Where we can hide from things that hurt
From sickness, pain or deep despair
It"s in our hearts, it"s everywhere
More than a feeling, sometimes convincing
Lord is my faith in you
Often a struggle, life is a puzzle
But Lord I believe in you
Where people live and multiply
Injustice lives and rules the lie
Jealousy, dishonesty
It lives in you, it lives in me
The money says in God we trust
But we rely on things that turn to dust
We live our lives so foolishly
In the illusion of our security
A perfect spot to live and die
No violence, but only love
It"s nice to dream, but it"s not enough
