SEAToday.com, Liverpool – Lagu Imagine yang dinyanyikan personel The Beatles John Lennon menjadi satu dari banyak karya populer yang dibuat dari sang musisi. Tak disangka lagu Imagine ada peran dari Yoko Ono, wanita yang menjadi pujaan hati Lennon.

Imagine memang lagu tentang perdamaian. Liriknya dibuat dengan sangat idealisme. Tapi lirik dibuat memakai cinta. Cinta Lennon kepada Ono sangat besar. Lennon menciptakan lagu Imagine tahun 1971 setelah ia bersama Ono menjalin kebersamaan selama tiga tahun.

Pada sebuah wawancara di tahun 1980, Lennon menyebut peran Ono dalam penciptaan lagu Imagine sangat besar. “Lagu Imagine tak akan pernah bisa ditulis tanpa Ono. Ia membantu saya dalam menulis lirik lagu,” tutur Lennon dalam wawancara tersebut.

Lennon dan Ono sama-sama berdiskusi, memberikan masukan. Sebagai musisi besar Lennon tak egois dan memberikan ruang kepada Ono untuk memberikan saran dalam pembuatan lirik lagu.

“Lagu itu mengekspresikan apa-apa yang saya pelajari selama saya bersama Ono dan perasaan saya terhadap hubungan kami. Seharusnya tertulis 'Lennon/Ono' pada lagu itu, karena ia banyak berkontribusi pada lagu itu,” jelas Lennon.

Sementara itu dalam wawancara, Ono mengatakan lagu Imagine terinspirasi dari asal-usulnya dengan Lennon yang berasal dari negara berbeda. “Kami punya rasa kesatuan dan akhirnya bersatu. Kita semua bercampur seperti warna kopi dan susu akan bahagia bersama,” tutur Ono.

Lagu Imagine masuk dalam saah satu lagu di album Imagine John Lennon. Dalam album tersebut ada 9 lagu. Selain Imagine ada lagu It’s So Hard, Oh My Love, dan beberapa lagu lainnya.  Berikut lirik lagu Imagine.

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky

Imagine all the people
Livin' for today
Ah

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
Livin' life in peace
You

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 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

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
