Dear JohnJohn Lennon

Dear John
Don't be hard on yourself
Give yourself a break
Life wasn't meant to be run
The race is over, you've won

Dear John
Don't be hard on yourself
Give yourself a break
Life wasn't meant to be run
The race is over, you've won

Ha da doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
(Laugh)

Dear John
Don't be hard on yourself
Give yourself a break
Life wasn't meant to be run
The race is over

(Whistle)

And dear John
Put the TV on, have a snack
Wash your mother's back
The race is over

John Lennon

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
