Lyrics Imagine - Manus Bell, Tarick

Imagine

When I was going up, I was always a happy kid
Never broke as such, yet you couldn’t have called us rich
The one thing I had that really made a difference
Was always feeling safe and having both my parents listening
But there was something missing, I could feel it within
Then my mom and pops told me they were pregnant again
It was back when I was ten, I think about it now and then
It’s probable that, that was when my life had started making sense
The next rhymes don’t need any kind of word play
My brother was born in October on my eleventh birthday
My daddy stood filling out the medical surveys
So I pulled my sisters arm and whispered, «hey, what did the nurse say?»
She said «it's all good», as happy as can be
Yet I could see on her face she wasn’t really at ease
Another summer would go by, becoming dumber with the people who told lies
Then I realized, that my brother could never be free until we can achieve peace
Which ever way the wind blows, life is never simple
The grass is always greener on the other side
No matter what you’ve been through the minutes will continue
I begin to, miss you, when I
Try to Imagine…
What it be like if I were you and you were me
Try to Imagine…
A younger brother on the ground before my feet
Bridge:
We living inside of a bubble you and I
Keep the mind open to double human eyes
Two different sides to every story
Yet the algorithm is to do or die
Everyone’s living in troubled times
When powerful people committing crimes
Ain’t no two different sides to every story
When the algorithm is to do or die
Imagine growing up without the love of your mom
Imagine living life in fear just like the children in Nam
Imagine waking up every night to the sound of alarms
Hearing the screams and never fully understanding the reason for what’s going on
Imagine your brother killed in the pursuit of Saddam
Imagine feeling it’s necessary to raise up in arms
Imagine everyday life being dictated by bombs
Yet it’s the shallow bullshit that dominates in our songs
Forget the about the ethical point of view the method is for the profit
We see it everyday on the news feeding us bullshit to fill up their pockets
No wonder the people are confused, the wealthy are living on gossip
Living in a bit of an ambivalent deposit, ego tripping but we gotta stop it
Come on brothers and sisters, we can keep making a difference
Corrupt politicians will come out and beg for forgiveness
Instead of survival of the fittest, my motto is brothers over business
Establish a system where all the children can be free of the greed and sickness
Which ever way the wind blows, life is never simple
The grass is always greener on the other side
No matter what you’ve been through the minutes will continue
I begin to, miss you, when I
Try to Imagine…
What it be like if I were you and you were me
Try to Imagine…
A younger brother on the ground before my feet
Bridge x2
We living inside of a bubble you and I
Keep the mind open to double human eyes
Two different sides to every story
Yet the algorithm is to do or die
Everyone’s living in troubled times
When powerful people committing crimes
Ain’t no two different sides to every story
When the algorithm is to do or die
