The song's meaning is in the last verse. It asks you to imagine yourself as an old man (or person) looking back on their life and thinking about all the things they've been through. This old person is at the end of their life imagining everything they've gone through before they die. It's suggesting we stop and think about our lives and appreciate them for what they are like someone near death would.
"Imagine a man
Not a child of any revolt
But a man of today feeling new
Imagine a soul
So old it it is broken
And you will know your invention is you"
