Why do liberals always think this is a good song to sing at a funeral? People actually find great comfort in religion and the idea of an afterlife, PARTICULARLY when their loved one dies. Why try to take the hope of heaven away from the parents of these children? "Imagine there's no heaven" is tacky beyond words.
Good question. I have had similar thoughts about this song. I have come to believe that most folks don't really hear most of the words or think about what they might mean. On the surface the song seems one of hope for a better world where all the people live in peace, brotherhood of man......not an ode to communism.
The song "Let it Be" is similar for me. "let it be" are words of wisdom? Mother Mary was a dolt.
