Imagine if there had been no coup d'etat in 1966
And president Kwame Nkrumah had stayed in power
Imagine if the United States had assisted Ghana
Instead of sabotaging Nkrumah's development plans
Imagine if J.B Danquah had advised Dr Kwame Nkrumah
As one would expect from a concerned brother
Imagine if we all could be back in 1957
The year which taught us that all things are possible
For a moment-the whole world tuned in to watch Ghana
Ghana-the beautiful, brave, proud, and free





Imagine if Rawlings had not seized power by force
And Dr Hilla Limann had stayed on his course
Would Ghana have been better off
Or would Ghana have been worser off
Imagine if our skilled men and women had stayed
As opposed to seeking greener pastures somewhere foreign
Would Ghana have been better developed
Or would the country have remained the same
Imagine if our education system led to job creation
How many people would've been left unemployed





Imagine if our doctors and teachers were getting properly paid
And our idle military men and women were sent farming
Instead of waiting for a war to break which would never break
Imagine if all the mosques and churches were turned into factories
Would anybody pray to God for help after that
Imagine if there were no political parties in Ghana
No NDC
No NPP
No CPP
Just you and I taking care of our business




You may say that I am dreamer
But I am not the only one
I hope someday you would join us
And Ghana would be beautiful
Brave
Proud
And free again
