Perhaps the only metaphor in the poem is the "dreamer"; an individual that believes in a cause for world peace. By "joining" them, the audience is able to participate in bringing about this goal.

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
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

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 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 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

The song creates a image in one's mind while listening. The song is telling us to look at the world with good vibes, to see the world without war, without a fight, or without a rebellion, and greed. A title is mirror image of art. "Imagine" is telling us to image a greater, more peaceful world.
