Imaginary Numbers (Imagine by John Lennon)

Original Lyrics
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 ah-aaa-

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

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

You may say that 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

Imagine there's a number
More complex than pi
You can't resolve its value
Not even if you try
Imagine there's a number
square root of minus one i-i-iii

Imaginary numbers
So many things they do
They're used in maths and physics
and engineering too
Imaginary Numbers
Imagine one today! ooooo

You may say "I love Euler!" 
For e to the i pi plus one
Brings us back down to zero
And is as perfect as they come


Imaginary numbers
may bamboozle you
but it can make things simpler
sine and cosine too
Imaginary numbers
set your mind at peace


You may say I am Riemann
With a root of minus one
I hope some day we can solve it
And we'll have a continuum 






Alternative verses:

2nd verse:

Imagine there's no answer
it isn't hard to do
no zeros to solve for
no graphing too
imagine all these problems
solved with i in place.


3rd verse:
 
Imagine all the functions
That you've had to shun
see i can make them simpler
like Euler's rule has done
Imaginary numbers
Bring you QED


Chorus:

You may say that we're crazy
There's no square root minus one
But I assure you we all love them\I hope some day you will get them
it's as perfect as they come
