Stawberry Fields

As I sit here to write at Strawberry Fields The peace in my heart starts to feel real The world and the noise seem to vanish away The clouds start to part as I feel the sun’s rays. I think of imagining a world with no fear For a brief moment I just shed a tear I was just brought up that men don’t cry When you don’t feel the hurt, you begin to die. What would happen if we could all get along? With peace in our hearts love would grow strong Put down our differences and see what is the same Get off the sidelines and simply return to the game. Hope and Faith collide tearing us apart Take a look inside, feel it with your heart Change is hard but the alternative is worse Tine to change the rules and set another course. I remember why I come here it fills me with hope As the carrot dangles before us, hanging from a rope The choices that we make shall determine who we are Maybe the distance to a better world is never too far. Everyone must answer to the voice they hear inside You can’t just jump onboard to go along for the ride Freedom and peace come with a pretty hefty price The opportunity is before us, you just need to grab a slice.
