So many years gone
And we still can't forget
Our precious John
Who for peace
Yes he fought
For he knew
That if we really
Wanted it
We could find a way
To actually
Make it be
The man who took him
Took more than he knew
For people like John Lennon
Are among the very few
Not just today
But in history
People like him
Do not come along
Very often
And it kills me
How one person
Can just come up
And shoot him
And now
Our hero
Yes our beautiful John
May be long gone
But his message
Is far from it
And as long as
Fans like me exist
His message
Will never die
Yes we will
Keep his dream alive
