Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letterbox they
They tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life are ringing
Through my open ears inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru deva, om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva
Jai guru deva

Now, c'mon: didn't that pesky war work out just fine for everybody? I'll bet Bill wants his portrait done! 

Still a great song after all these years. A lot of John's solo work seems dated to me but not this.

Lyrics:

God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I'll say it again,
God is a concept,
By which we can measure,
Our pain,
I don't believe in magic,
I don't believe in I-ching,
I don't believe in bible,
I don't believe in tarot,
I don't believe in Hitler,
I don't believe in Jesus,
I don't believe in Kennedy,
I don't believe in Buddha,
I don't believe in mantra,
I don't believe in Gita,
I don't believe in yoga,
I don't believe in kings,
I don't believe in Elvis,
I don't believe in Zimmerman,
I don't believe in Beatles,
I just believe in me,
Yoko and me,
And that's reality.
The dream is over,
What can I say?
The dream is over,
Yesterday,
I was dreamweaver,
But now I'm reborn,
I was the walrus,
But now I'm John,
And so dear friends,
You just have to carry on,
The dream is over.

John Winston Ono Lennon,  (9 October 1940 - 8 December 1980)

So much charachter in his face, you can bet he spent a good lot of his life smiling :)
I have been to a few rallies where this guy didnt show up.
After i took this summer, i never saw him again.
Im glad i had a chance to take his picture again
He was protesting with two signs, the first saying "give peace a chance" and the second was a yellow submarine.
Great guy, amazing sense of life, and a beatles fan ;)

People always flame when you respond to a song in a political fashion on this site. But, with a song like this, and the previous comments, I don\'t see anyway around it. I think this song probably was allot more realistic when he wrote and sang it than it is in this current crisis today. Things are much different now. Anyone who can\'t see that needs to wake up. Peace is an ideal that everyone should strive for. But at this point, I think it would be ignorant bliss.
