Within you without you
We were talking - about the space
between us all
and the people - who hide themselves
behind a wall of illusion
never glimpse the truth - then it's far too
late - when they pass away.

We were talking - about the love we all
could share - when we find it
to try our best to hold it there - with our
love
With our love - we could save the world -
if they only knew.

Try to realise it's all within yourself
no-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small,
and life flows on within you and without
you.

We were talking - about the love that's
gone so cold and the people,
who gain the world and lose their soul -
they don't know - they can't see - are you
one of them?

When you've seen beyond yourself -
then you may find peace of mind is
waiting there -
And the time will come when you see
we're all one,
and life flows on within you and without
you.


George Harrison, from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

2. You're welcome!
It's important to listen to music and enjoy poetry, in both good times and bad.

4. I will look for it ....
I think it was my good friend Minstrel Boy who posted that most beautiful song. It was the last song Bob Marley wrote, when he was dying of cancer. It's also known as the "Prophet's Song."

6. Redemption Song
Old pirates yes they rob I
sold I to the merchant ship
minutes after they took I from
the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
by the hand of the Almighty
We flowered in this generation,
triumphantly

All I ever had is songs of freedom
Won't you help to sing
these songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs
redemptions songs

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
none but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'Cause none of them can stop the time
How long shall they kill the prophets
while we stand aside and look
Some say it's just a part of it
we've got to fulfill the book

Oh won't you help to sing these these
songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever had, these songs of freedom
redemption song
