[Verse 1]
Remember when you were young
How the hero was never hung
Always got away

[Verse 2]
Remember how the man
Used to leave you empty handed
Always, always let you down

[Verse 3]
If you ever change your mind
About leaving it all behind
Remember, remember today
Hey hey

[Chorus]
Don't feel sorry
The way it's gone
And don't you worry
About what you've done

[Verse 4]
Just remember
When you were small
How people seemed so tall
Always had their way
Hey hey

[Verse 5]
Do you remember your ma and pa
Just wishing for movie stardom
Always, always playing a part

[Verse 6]
If you ever feel so sad
And the whole world is driving you mad
Remember, remember today
Hey hey

[Chorus]
Don't feel sorry
About the way it's gone
Don't you worry
About what you've done

[Outro]
Remember
Remember, the Fifth of November

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.
