Dear John

Dear John I heard the news today oh boy About the way in which you passed away To tears and cries that shook the world From Liverpool to Foreign Lands People still sing along to the words of the Beatle Band Even if they don't understand Because the mark of your poetry transcends despair And though we lost you to the war Your records still adorn the walls of music stores Where young musicians flock to listen to timeless chords To the 1 and only The very reverend Mr John Lennon Gods very own Poet Lauriet sent from Heaven A working class hero Exposed to the Mass Imagination Is lost to the world oh boy I heard the news today oh boy Oh boy , Oh boy There goes the sun Obstructed by the diamond skies On strawberry fields Where Sergeant Pepper and his band Play to the beat of the last stand As a procession of mourners stop and stare At the feet of a fallen king They stop and sing As Joy they bring All you need is Love Love Love is all you need All together now
