Melissa Etheridge - Imagine That lyrics

A mother was grieving her loss

Her soldier the ultimate cost

She went to the man

Who's been told that he's a king

Waited outside of his compound

To ask him a few things

She said

"For what noble cause did my son have to die

Where are their weapons

Why did you have to lie"

Imagine that

A lieutenant in the army

In his heart and his soul he believes

In the land of the free and the home of the brave

Now he's standing on trial

For he will not behave as they wish

He said

"I believe the constitution

To defend it and uphold

I will not fight your war for profit

No sir I will not go"

Imagine that

A scientist and his machine

The smallest of life he has seen

Inside matter inside atoms

As far as you can go

He saw the strings of life that vibrate

With the universal flow

He said

"I have seen the spirit

And all its creation

It's in each and every thought

And all our intentions"

Imagine that
