Imagine all the photographs
You will never get to see
Pictures taken by your friends and relatives
Packed away in family albums
Old shoe boxes
And the numbers keep on rising

Imagine all the people you will never get to meet
Every day we see the strangers
Pass them on the street
Living out lives that we’ll never get to share

Imagine all the places
You will never get to travel to in your lifetime
On the news
In books and magazines
TV documentaries
We’re experts in geography
Students of culture
Travelling down foreign streets
From landmark to historic landmark
And yet in truth
Most of which we’ve never actually been to

Imagine when we die then
And if there is a Heaven
All mankind’s art and treasure
Waiting for us there
And everything we didn’t have time for
After living expenses no money left to spend
Everyone still to meet
We could savor and enjoy
Without worry
For time and life would stretch into infinity
