You tried hard enough to change the world <br />You tried hard to send a message to the world with all your songs <br />You were an activist <br />The kind that the world needed <br />I don't think that the world was ready for you <br />But you worked hard <br />to send the message anyway <br />Because you believed deep in your heart that it would do <br />The world had been falling apart for sometime <br />You kept working hard to bring the world closer <br />You first attenpt had failed <br />So you kept on trying <br />And you did <br />You were persistent <br />And in your mind you thought that you would achieve it somehow <br />You knew that peace <br />Was what the world needed <br />You worked towards peace <br />You wanted so badly to make peace with the world and the people <br />People misunderstood you <br />26 years later all the messages that was written in all the songs <br />You had composed lives on forever<br /><br />Aldo Kraas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ballad-for-john-lennon/
