A Step Away from Beauty for a Moment ... John Lennon's Imagine

In my line of work, it's pretty easy to forget that sometimes the frivolous stuff is, well, frivolous. Yes, I love buying lipgloss and going to the spa as much as the next girl. But sometimes it's nice to take a moment, step back, and remember that there are bigger things out there. I leave you with the lyrics to John Lennon's Imagine, and the video of the song being performed on Glee last season (love or hate the show, this was a very powerful moment).



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
