[Verse 1]
Bless you, wherever you are
Windswept child on a shooting star
Restless spirits depart
Still we're deep in each other's hearts

[Bridge]
Some people say it's over
Now that we spread our wings
But we know better, darling
The hollow ring is only last year's echo

[Verse 2]
Bless you, whoever you are
Holding her now
Be warm and kind-hearted
And remember though love is strange
Now and forever our love will remain

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.
