Within You Without You- The Beatles

Within You Without You
The Beatles
Sgt. Pepper's

We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realise it's all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small,
And life flows within you and without you.
We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul-
They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind,
Is waiting there-
And the time will come when you see
we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you

I bought this album as a teenager, never really understood this song at the time. I bloody do now. SHIT!!

[frazzledazzle89]

simply put, you are all divine beings wether you choose to recognise this or not, peace all

[alessandro giovannetti]

It's strange to hear this without When I'm 64 after.

[Clare Rockwood]

This is such a deep and meaningful song. When someone told me that ALL Beatles songs are nonsense, I recited this in front of my whole school. So yeah.

[garethgobolcoque95]

Every time I find something new about life, I come back to this song and realise that it was in there the whole time. This is easily one of my favourite Beatles songs, and easily on the deepest.

[FredScuttle1969]

George Harrison was the coolest of The Beatles. Period.

[MILLIE1155]

You know its a joke the beatles did?

[dave790]

I love the Beatles, but more people should perhaps realise / acknowledge how much this song - and the whole Indian influence - is indebted to See My Friends by the Kinks. Respect!

[Jordan rivera]

whoever dislikes this song is "one of them".

[Jobryan205]

This song is speaks the truth more so than any other song I can think of. So profound...
