                           A Tribute To John 
 
 
               Peace can be defined as the absence of fear
 
               No hate,no guns,no killing going on here
 
               John Lennon had thoughts that many people shared
 
               He said things that many had not dared
 
               But its not enough to sing about peace
 
               It won't cause hate,violence,and fear to cease
  
  
  
               John is gone but you're still here
 
               It's you that can end hatred,violence,and fear
 
               They're the result of a misguided mind
 
               So if you think good thoughts,you'll find
 
               That peace and love will grow
 
               And hatred,violence and fear will subside
 
 
 
               It's you who decides what you will do
 
               That you are your own guru
 
               You are the shaper of your life
 
               You could do great things
 
               Or cause great strife
 
 
 
               Can you 'Imagine' a world without John
 
               I guess we'll have to,because he is gone
 
               But not his thoughts,they continue on
 
               Let your neighbors live and do their thing in peace
 
               You do the same
 
               And hatred,violence and fear will cease
