The young boy's mom, Michelle Cavarnos Kornowski, uploaded her son's school talent show performance online. In her caption, the doting mom revealed that those who attended the small gathering were in tears while listening to Adam's rendition.
"A woman stopped me to tell me that she would buy it on iTunes if I put it out there!! I love his bow at the end... so polite!" wrote Michelle.

John Lennon Talks About 'Imagine'
Prior to his death, Lennon opened up about "Imagine."
"We're not the first to say 'Imagine No Countries' or 'Give Peace a Chance,' but we're carrying that torch, like the Olympic torch, passing it hand to hand, to each other, to each country, to each generation... and that's our job. Not to live according to somebody else's ideas of how we should live..." said Lennon.
