I love the Beatles and I love Lennon. I just wish he would have chose different lyrics to such a beautiful song. To me, the lyrics are, in a word, childish. It would never happen, and we wouldn't Eben want it to.
I think Paul's "Let it Be" touches on similar sentiments, but is both wise and profoundly relevant. " And when the broken-hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer ....." The song is a hymn.

Imagine may be idealistic or "childish", but then if the world were as seen through a child's eyes, would we be worse off? The title of the song is "Imagine", which in and of itself invites the listener to suspend reality and be fanciful in their thought of what could be. I wouldn't dare change a single lyric in that song, imo it's damn near perfect.
As for "Let it Be", you're right it's a "hymn" and a damn good one too. You hit on my favorite lyric and one that I think gets to the heart of some of the "movements" happening in society. The Broken Hearted people are starting to find their common voice. When this has happened throughout history, BIG things happen. -There's something in the air... no?
