Dear John
You died too soon
The world wasn't ready
It's been over 30 years
And it's still not steady
You died a hero
You died a legend
In matter of fact
Your name was John Lennon
You were shot by the wall
With no warning at all
Four shots in the back
Just like that
People were sad
Tears were shed
Who killed you?
I want their head
Why only you?
Why not Paul, George, or Ringo?
Were you his only hero?
Or did he hate you?
With a passion of fire
Was killing you his only desire?
It wasn't your time
Your death was wrong
Now it's up to us and try to keep strong
You said, "Come together"
And, "All you need is love"
You didn't have a gimmick
Like Michael Jackson and his glove
You were a real singer
An artist
A poet
You had hard emotions but chose not to show it
You were loved by many
Hated by few
But you didn't let that affect you
You were a free spirit
Chained down by fame
After the Beatles died
You were never the same
You were married
And had a baby too
But after you met Yoko
Everything went down the tube
But you didn't care
She deserved a chance
It's only fair
I can't believe your dead
It's so unreal to me
You had so many ideas
That the world will never see
You wanted everyone to, "Give peace a chance"
Have the world see
That deep inside
Were a big happy family
But that will never happen
Because the world is full of hate
Our natural instinct
Is to discriminate
Good thing you're gone
Because this world is full of fakes
Something I know you hate
I hope you rest in peace
And maybe your dream can come true
Because in a world full of phonies
They're some good people too
I hope you know we still love
And still sing your songs
Just because you're dead
Doesn't mean you're entirely gone
