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.
