Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup
Which, with time, will overflow and then disintegrate
I sure no one can hear me, 'cause nobody is looking up
While, above them, I spew out these songs of smile and hate

Nothing's gonna change my world
Is what I told myself in darkness
Nothing's gonna change my world
With my knowing smile, I said
Nothing's gonna change my world..

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my opened mind
These emotions, never felt before, let my chains be freed from me
Memories of solitude and peace must now be left behind
I step into a world of sound by bus-stop number 23

Nothing's gonna change my world
Is what I told myself in darkness
Nothing's gonna change my world
With my knowing smile, I said
Nothing's gonna change my world..

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes
Hurt my mind, they are so bright, and try to stare me down
A frightened infant, I'm no match for friendly glares of curiosity
All these feelings threaten all of my convictions, make me drown

Nothing's gonna change my world
Is what I told myself in darkness
Nothing's gonna change my world
With my knowing smile, I said
Nothing's gonna change my world..

Sounds of laughter, shades of earth are ringing through my open ears
Inciting and inviting me, yet pushing, tearing me away
From what I thought was safety, in solitude, for years and years
Teaching me how movement loves, teaching me to sway

Nothing's gonna change my world
Is what I told myself in darkness
Nothing's gonna change my world
With my knowing smile, I said
Nothing's gonna change my world..

Limitless undying love which shines around me like a million suns
It burns my pale skin, but also fills me up with awe
I find the world a forceful teacher, letting all my thoughts be done
But all my cuts will heal with time, so I may shun my frights and crawl

Jai Guru Deva Om...

Nothing's gonna change my world..
              Nothing's gonna change my world..
                          Nothing's gonna change my world..
                                      Nothing's gonna change my world..
                                                    Nothing's gonna change my world..

                                                                 Nothing's gonna change my world.. .
DISCLAIMER - As most of you probably know, I have taken lines from the wonderful song "Across The Universe" written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney.. the rest of the words are my own.

Here is a link to my favourite version of the song, with Fiona Apple. [link]
It's the version from my childhood, I remember the line "nothing's gonna change my world" really getting to me..

How many of you knew that "Jai Guru Deva Om" actually means "I give thanks (victory) (salutation) to Guru Dev (or heavenly teacher), om." ? :meow:
