What is peace?
Peace is many things: the meaning of the word peace changes with context. Peace may refer specifically to an agreement concluded to end a war, or to a lack of external warfare, or to a period when a country's armies are not fighting enemies. It can also refer more generally to quietude, such as that common at night or in remote areas, allowing for sleep or meditation. Peace can be an emotion or internal state. And finally, peace can be any combination of these defintions.

A person's conception of "peace" is often the product of culture and upbringing. People of different cultures sometimes disagree about the meaning of the word, and so do people within any given culture. Peace is not a symbol, peace is a mindset.

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try

No Hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people living for today
 
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for
 

No religion too
 

Imagine all the people
living life in peace

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

Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

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
