Analysis of Imagine

Can you ever imagine
When your life is or,
Knocking on Heaven's door
On that golden shore ?

I have tried the broken cisterns, Lord
And ah the waters fled,
Hearing the grim reaper whisper
Put your affairs in order !

To be an elder stateman for the Lord,
I have become a very captive audience
The Lord and me.
He talks with me, He walks with me,
And He tell me that I am His own !

We must accept the difficult with the good,
As a sojourner now we must realize
That the die has been cast and only ask
The strength to continue the journey !

What fools these mortals be
To think we should be carried on pillows of ease,
Give of yourself, and be your brother's keeper,
In giving we receive God's blessing !

So what is your life ?
Here today, gone tomorrow, like a vapor,
In time people will forget you,
But leave you mark as God is your Savior !
