• John Lennon, John Lennon
    You gave peace a chance
    And wasn't afraid
    To get up and dance

    Your father left
    And mother died
    But all through that
    You did not cry

    But as a Beatle
    You were the Walrus
    A Paperback Writer
    Unlike anyone among us

    But before you met
    Your untimely death
    There was a lot
    You still had left

    We were wowed with 'Imagine'
    'Instant Karma' too
    Well, as a soloist
    Everyone loved you

    You said you were a dreamer
    Clearly, you're not alone
    When we, your fans heard bad news
    We all brightly shone

    We knew you were above us
    Only in the sky
    You were the one to bring the peace
    Because no one else had tried

    Your dream is still remembered today
    It could not be outdone
    But, a new hope has been shown
    It's that the world will be as one.
