Just wanted to put a song together in memory of John Lennon who was assassinated December 8 1980.
Finished this in this form about 9pm
Its really quite rough mix , but I wanted to write it and get it out today.. A man I for one wish was still around and think would have made a great difference now.
Any ways it can be heard here if any one would like to give it a listen http://www.awaywiththefairys.com/inmemoryofjohn.mp3
oh and the lyrics.
December morn
i heard the news
that they took our hero down
A man who stood
for love and peace
was taken from this earth
His songs of truth
exposing wrong
played all day on the radio
Global tears
fell on that day
He was the last of his kind
While theres life
theres hope is what he said
he who lives to hate is but a fool
He stood with those in need
and despised the rich mans greed
so they went and shot the man from liverpool
His words of love
They linger on
in my heart they´ve lost no meaning
And in these times
these awful times
I wish that he was here
He´d stand up tall
he´d stand besides
the disempowered people
Calling for truth
calling for peace
calling for sanity
But oh the bastards went and took him down
they couldn't have a peoples champion round
His words could move the soul
when he played his rockn roll
so they went and killed the man from Liverpool
