John was born an orphan boy
Carried the weight of an orphan boy
Yes he did
He walks with a bottle in his hand
Look through the glass try to understand
Yes he did
Well is there anybody out who understands
Love could make a change in plans
Yes it did

John told Yoko, love is real
They stood by, watched the world stand still
Yes they did
At night when all the reporters had gone
Moon would cry a tombstone light above
Yes it did
Well is there anybody out who still believes
Love could bring time down on its knees
Yes it did

Why should I worry when you don't?
How could I listen when you won't?
How could I hear a million people cry?
How could I worry when you don't?
Why should I listen when you won't?
How could I hear a million people cry?

Yoko took the moon down from the sky
Laid it down by her bed and cried
Yes she did
Took down the paper lantern, all the stars
Picked her little child up in her arms
Yes she did
Well is there anybody out who understands
Love could make a change in man
Yes she did
And is there anybody out who still believes
Love could bring time down on its knees
Yes she did

I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
