[Chorus]
Peace and love
Flying so high
Peace and love
Too young to die
Peace and love

[Verse 1]
Now you decide
Stay for the children
You don't really want to go
Can't feel it
Pulling like you did

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Only a ride
Strength is gone
Dying inside
Tell me now
What did you find
Found love in the people
Living in a sacred land
Found love in the people

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Found love found hate
Saw my mistake
Broke walls of pain
To walk again
I saw the dream
I saw the wake
We shared it all
But not the take

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
Lennon's goodbye
Over Now
Living in time
A broken bell
A nursery rhyme
Deserted by heroes
Strangers in your own land
No way to deny you
No way to deny you

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I took it all
I took the oath
I took it all
Til I had most
I took what's left
I gave it breath
I had it all once
I gave it back

Neil Young is a Canadian singer-songwriter. He is easily recognizably for his distinct tenor voice, making him a near-polar opposite of his Canadian folk contemporary, the baritone Leonard Cohen, although they both share a dense and idiosyncratic sense of lyricism.

Young has released an album almost every year since 1969 with his eponymous debut album and most recently The Visitor, released in 2017. In between, he’s done collaborative albums with Pearl Jam and Crazy Horse (later being dubbed “The Godfather of Grunge”), brought his profound lyricism to the Simon and Garfunkel-esque harmonies of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, who, according to legend, he performed with at Woodstock, and even did autotune way before Kanye.

Young is one of the few people to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, once as himself and once with his psychedelic rock band Buffalo Springfield which he co-founded in 1966 along with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay after illegally emigrating to Los Angeles.
