(slow)
She says "Billy don’t go, just stay here"
but now he’s not the owner of his destiny,
a paper was left yesterday at the door
and he can’t do nothing but pray to the lord
(normal)
She takes his hand, she close the door
but after all, the door will be open soon
to a strange new journey he’s going to.
When it’s over Billy, who will carry you home?
This is the last time he says good bye
while she’s sad hoping that he’ll come back,
her lips still taste their last kiss,
After all she’s crying, she’s on her knees
He said “imagine peace and peace you will get”
doesn’t matter if it’s only in your head,
just have faith and the rain will stop
and you’ll have to learn to carry on
the hate, the greed living on this world
you will never change it if you are all alone
After all this pain, who will carry you home?
And here’s to him, he’s just a kid
dancing with his lady after prom and first kiss
just a kiss, he never went too far
oh, just a kiss and he never went too far
She prays for a world living in peace,
she prays to the lord everyday on her knees
and she’s thinking and asking again
When hate’s over, who will carry you home?
She said “imagine peace and peace you will get”
doesn’t matter if it’s only in your head
just have faith and the rain will stop
and you’ll have to learn to carry on
the hate, the greed living on this world
you will never change it if you are all alone
After all this pain, who will carry you home?
She stands up and grabs the guitar
that her honey gave her for Christmas.
she hopes that tomorrow he’ll return
to have another Christmas at home
Now she has for weapon a guitar
and start to play; she’s a soldier of peace
she sings this song thinking of him
hoping for tomorrow everything will change
While Billy’s dreaming on holding that guitar
‘Cos music will never take people’s lives
to rivers of blood, but his hopes are behind
the following orders of someone in charge
Please “imagine peace and peace you will get”
Doesn’t matter if it’s only in your head
Just have faith and the rain will stop
And you’ll have to learn to carry on
The hate, the greed living on this world
You will never change it if you are all alone
After all this pain, who will carry you home?
She got a contract and he a promotion
but their lives are still moving in slow motion
now she sings to people everywhere
while he’s in charge of some people there
She’s playing chords, he’s firing guns
now she sings while he screams,
the people applaud and all brothers fight
while she’s playing other song to the crowd
Oh Billy, the sky’s in their eyes
Oh Billy, I don’t want to cry
Oh Billy, now please tell me, why
all this people are now looking up?
They sang “imagine peace and peace you will get”
Doesn’t matter if it’s only in your head
Just have faith and the rain will stop
And you’ll have to learn to carry on
The hate, the greed living on this world
You will never change it if you are all alone
After all this pain, who will carry you home?
Oh Billy, what have you become?
didn’t you wanted to change the world?
Oh Billy, you are making it worst
You’ve been thinking that you are the lord?
I feel Sorry for you, only god can decide
who’s staying or not, who lives and who dies
please give love, please don’t give hate
because you need to make the world understand
Just imagine peace and peace you will get
doesn’t matter if it’s only in your head
just have faith and the rain will stop
and you’ll have to learn to carry on
the hate, the greed living on this world
you will never change it if you are all alone
After all this pain, who will carry you home?
(slow)
His buddy says “please move out”
Billy says “I’m sorry, I can’t do that”
he gives him the photo he had on his pocket
and he says to his friend, please carry me home
She close her eyes, she’s asking why
while the tears soon drown her eyes
because he just stopped to write
tell me why you just stopped to write?
We sang “imagine peace and peace you will get”
Doesn’t matter if it’s only in your head
Just have faith and the rain will stop
And you’ll have to learn to carry on
The hate, the greed living on this world
You will never change it if you are all alone
After all this pain, who will carry you home?
(normal)
Imagine peace and peace you will get
Doesn’t matter if it’s only in your head
Just have faith and the rain will stop
And you’ll have to learn to carry on
The hate, the greed living on this world
You will never change it if you are all alone
After all this pain, who will carry you home?
