Give peace a chance. John Lennon

All we are saying is give peace a chance.


Imagine. John Lennon

But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one


Someone Saved My Life Tonight. Elton John

And someone saved my life tonight, sugar bear (1)
You almost had your hooks in me, didn't you dear
You nearly had me roped and tied
Altar-bound, hypnotized
Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
You're a butterfly
And butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away bye bye

The Whole Of The Moon. The Waterboys. Michael Scott.

I pictured a rainbow
You held it in your hands
I had flashes (1)
But you saw the plan
I wandered out in the world for years
While you just stayed in your room
I saw the crescent
You saw the whole of the moon
You were there in the turnstiles
With the wind at your heels
You stretched for the starts
And you know how it feels
To reach too high
Too far
Too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
I was grounded
While you filled the skies
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies (2)
I spoke about wings
You just flew
I wondered I guessed and I tried
You just knew
Unicorns and cannonballs
Palaces and piers
Trumpets towers and tenements
Wide oceans full of tears
Flags rags ferryboats
Scimitars and scarves
Every precious dream and vision
Underneath the stars
You climbed on the ladder
With the wind in your sails
You came like comet
Blazing your trail
Too high too far too soon
You saw the whole of the moon
I was dumbfounded by truth
You cut through lies
