Julia Baird (née Dykins) (born 5 March 1947) is the eldest daughter of John 'Bobby' Albert Dykins (1918 - December 1965) and Julia Lennon (12 March 1914 – 15 July 1958). Baird's older half-brother was late English musician John Lennon; she also had an older half-sister, Ingrid Pederson. Her younger sister was Jacqueline 'Jacqui' Dykins (born 26 October 1949).
Lennon started visiting the Dykins' house in 1951. After the death of Julia Lennon in 1958, Harriet and Norman Birch were appointed guardians of Julia and Jacqui, ignoring Dykins' parentage, as he had never legally married their mother. Lennon invited the Dykins sisters to visit after the success of The Beatles, when he was living in Kenwood, Weybridge, with his wife, Cynthia Lennon.
Julia Dykins (Baird) married Allen Baird in 1968 and moved to Belfast. They had three children together but were divorced in 1981. Baird worked as a special needs teacher, and after Lennon's death she wrote John Lennon, My Brother (with Geoffrey Giuliano) and gave up working in 2004 to write Imagine This - Growing up with my brother John Lennon. She is now a director of Cavern City Tours in Liverpool.
John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician and singer-songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as one of the founder members of The Beatles, one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. Together with Paul McCartney, he formed one of the most celebrated songwriting partnerships of the 20th century.
Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved as a teenager in the skiffle craze; his first band, The Quarrymen, evolved into The Beatles in 1960. As the group disintegrated towards the end of the decade, Lennon embarked on a solo career that produced the critically acclaimed albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After his marriage to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to raising his infant son Sean, but re-emerged with Ono in 1980 with the new album Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks after its release.
Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods (born December 30, 1975) is an American professional golfer whose achievements to date rank him among the most successful golfers of all time. Formerly the World No. 1, he is the highest-paid professional athlete in the world, having earned an estimated US$90.5 million from winnings and endorsements in 2010.
Woods turned professional in 1996, and by April 1997 he had already won his first major, the 1997 Masters. He first reached the number one position in the world rankings in June 1997. Through the 2000s, Woods was the dominant force in golf, spending 264 weeks from August 1999 to September 2004 and 281 weeks from June 2005 to October 2010 as world number one. From December 2009 to early April 2010, Woods took leave from professional golf to focus on his marriage after he admitted infidelity. His multiple infidelities were revealed by several different women, through many worldwide media sources. This was followed by a loss of form, and his ranking gradually fell to a low of #58 in November 2011. He snapped a career-long winless streak of 107 weeks when he captured the Chevron World Challenge in December 2011. As of April 8, 2012, he is ranked #8.

Only once you have tasted the earth
Only once you have touched the sky
You shall embrace life without reason,
Without pain.
Reach for the altered states of freedom.
Find a place inside your sorrow
And build a castle.
Freedom is not a word
But a state of mind.
The wings that you are looking for
Are already there.
Open your eyes
And caress this precious vision
This fire burning off
A bird is there offering you a chance
To find salvation again
Outside your dreams.
The animal spirit lives forever
In your mind and in your heart.
Answer the call!
Capture the spirit of the crow,
Messenger of Heaven.
Be awake to the traveller of the sky.
Dream of the spirit world
When death is bringing salvation
And understanding.
Then,
You'll realize that Heaven
Has opened it's doors ...
Only lust can save you
From your madness.
You want to take control of the urge
That is burning.
Only love can fill the emptiness of your soul.
You want to replace the sadness that is growing.
Master of this world
You are providing the essence of your wisdom.
Master of this night
You are offering your legion of followers.
Megalomaniac,
You shall be the king.
Modern culture with machines
Controlling minds and spirits.
Babylon is here again.
We are so busy electing electronics to forget our misery,
To transcend our past,
To serve this new God.
Where to find any peace ?
Where to ask for repentance ?
Even the angels are leaving the Heavens
For a better world.
Where to find a Lord
That is hiding
Agree to die.
Accept what is waiting for you beyond.
Accept that faith is your only guide through Heaven.
Pray, my Indian child.
Do your prayer,
And accept that death
Is only the continuance of life ...
... or the beginning of something new.
A new kind of play.
A conception of a new world.
Send your last prayer !
For, at last,
You'll never reach God
More closely !
Spread the wings
And fly across the desert skies
Lack of understanding
Reach the vertiginous meanders of infinity
A final destination
An impalpable world which can抰 never be touch
... only with faith and spirit
Each dream is aware of it's distortion
All delirium knows it's apogee
With all these destructive games,
Angels are splintering their wings
At the sight of the burning Eden
Welcome back to the withered reality
When the land of your father
Is calling you again.
Find the time
To embrace your loneliness.
When the sun is leaving the sky
For a better end.
Find a place in your heart
To remember your mortality.
So one day,
You shall wake up from reality
And just leave your mind behind,
Since there is nothing left to do.
So one life,
You will feel the rain upon your skin
Knowing that it is your mother crying,
Since your father became an old man
What is your relation with ones and zeros ?
What can we do
When everything is a lie,
An illusion ?
Part human,
Part machine
The evolution of our mind,
Of our dreams has become reality.
Cyberland is nothing more than a collection of fear,
Hope and perception.
We don't exist,
We simply denied our existence by connecting to a machine.
Don't look for an answer
Simply find a way out
From our addiction
Without you to hold me
And heal my heart
To guide me and keep me
From falling apart
My life is so empty
so hollow and cold
Footsteps and echoes
Of nowhere to go
CHORUS
Without you, without you
I know I'm all alone
I can't go on this way
Day by day
Without you, who am I
What am I to do
My life's out of focus
and so are my views
I need you to give me
The strength to go on
A reason for hope
There are nights when I can't help but cry,
And I wonder why you had to leave me
Why did it have to end so soon?
When you said that you would never leave me
CHORUS:
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
What did I do to make you change your mind completely?
When I thought this love would never end
But if this love's not ours to have,
I'll let it go with your goodbye.
Why did it have to end so soon?
When you said that you would never leave me
CHORUS:
Tell me, where did I go wrong?
What did I do to make you change your mind completely?
When I thought this love would never end
But if this love's not ours to have,
Puso ko'y binihag mo
Sa tamis ng pagsuyo
Tanggapin yaring alay
Ako'y iyo habang-buhay
Aanhin pa ang kayamanan
Luho at karangalan
Kung ika'y mapasa-akin
Lahat na nga ay kakamtin
CHORUS
Sa 'yo lamang ang puso ko
Sa 'yo lamang ang buhay ko
Kalinisan, pagdaralita
Pagtalima, aking sumpa
Tangan kong kalooban
Sa iyo'y nilalaan
Dahil atas ng pagsuyo
Tumalima lamang sa 'yo
CHORUS
Sa 'yo lamang ang puso ko
Sa 'yo lamang ang buhay ko
Kalinisan, pagdaralita
Pagtalima, aking sumpa
(Sa 'yo lamang ang puso ko) Sa 'yo lamang
(Sa 'yo lamang ang buhay ko)
Hoh, kalinisan, pagdaralita
Look, it's happened once again
It happens every now and then
Feeling the hurt and hating all the men
Ready to stop it all
That's when I need a friendly face
To see me through these lonely days
Just to put some sunshine in my place
Don't take too long I need you
REFRAIN:
Here I am
I haven't gone that far away
And since I am
That kind of friend you know
Would stay with you through all the pain
Never to leave you in the rain
Ready to listen to what you've been through
Your woes and blues and share each other's
CHORUS:
Points of view
We've been there once before
And kept our points of view
It doesn't really matter if they're never quite the same
We have our rules in different ways
We play the games of different folks with different strokes
And keep our points of view
See the world seems bright again
It only darkens now and then
Most of the time there's just no telling when
Look up and see you've got me
REFRAIN:
Here we are
We may have gone our different ways
But since we are
The kind of friends who'll always stay
No matter what the pain
Learning to love that cap o rain
Ready to say we're here to stay in every way
Although we'e got our different...

There are times when I hardly know who I am
'Cause I try to pretend, oh, I try to pretend
There are tears when I feel my world's fallin' apart
I think of you and then
I feel all the love again
CHORUS
Over and over again
I try to pretend love never ends
Once again, ooh, over and over again
I'd love to make you mine
'Cause it's the only way to hold you
In my wild imagination
Still don't know how
To grab a chance and spend some time
In just a simple conversation
Refrain:
Just give it a try
Though I'm like chasing rainbows in the sky
I waanna hold you in my dreams
And make believe that it's true
Although I know, I know that it is impossible to do
Cause your a star
People love you as you are
You're a million miles away from me
Wished that you were here
Cause it's illusions every time you're close to me
And sing my love song
And it's the only way
I could tell, the whole world(I love you)
Although your a million miles away
Just give it a try
Though I'm like chasing rainbow in the sky
I wanna hold you in my dreams
And make believe that it's true
Although I know, I know that it's impossible to do
Cause your a star
Your a star
Your a star
Just give it a try
Though I'm like chasing rainbow in the sky
I wanna hold you in my dreams
And make believe that it's true
Although I know, I know that it's impossible to do
Cause your a star
Your a star
Your a star
Seems like I just touch your hand
Feels like I've known you so long
Dreams like the ones that we made out of sand
Made out of fire, burning strong
And it seems like the day has not passed
Feels like you've never gone
Dreams like the ones that we wanted to last
Wanted to keep growing on
CHORUS
Into my memories
Reflections of all my memories
Unfolding with all of love's memories
There'll never be more than enough
All my days, yesterdays need you and...
Seems like I wish you were here
Feels like the day's not complete
Dreams like the ones that our love made so clear
Made it so clear that I need
CHORUS
More than just memories
Reflections of all my memories
Unfolding with all of love's memories
There'll never be more than enough
All my days, yesterdays need you and...
Seems like I wish you were here
Feels like the day's not complete
Dreams like the ones that our love made so clear
You, you turn and walk away
I didn't know what to say
I close my eyes to hide
The pain I felt inside
I, could never understand
How love went out of hand
And now there's nothing I can do
Though the feeling hasn't pass
Sad to say our love didn't last
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over
When I'm done forgetting you
You can say what you wanna do
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over now
Now, I'm left here all alone
A heart without a home
How will I ever find
The love I left behind
Once the days where us to share
Now you don't even care
And there's still nothing I can do
Though the feeling hasn't pass
Sad to say our love didn't last
Please don't ask me to pretend
'Cause I know it's over
When I'm done forgetting you
You can say what yopu wanna do
Please don't ask me to pretend
Sa dinami-dami ng aking minahal
Panandalian lamang at ilan ang nagtagal
Iisa pa lamang ang binabalikan
Alaala ng kahapong pinabayaan
Sa dinami-dami ng aking nakapiling
Kung sinu-sino ang umibig sa akin
Iisa pa lamang ang inaasam-asam
Ang nakalipas, di maaring balikan
At kahit iba na ang minamahal mo
Kung sino man ang siyang may-ari ng iyong puso
Ang bawat pangalan, kalaro, kaibigan
Iisa pa lamang ang minahal ko ng ganito
Sa dinami-dami ng aking nakapiling
Kung sinu-sino ang umibig sa akin
Iisa pa lamang ang inaasam-asam
Ang nakalipas, di maaring balikan
At kahit iba na ang minamahal mo
Kung sino man ang siyang may-ari ng iyong puso
Ang bawat pangalan, kalaro, kaibigan
Iisa pa lamang ang minahal ko ng ganito
At kahit iba na ang minamahal mo
Kung sino man ang siyang may-ari ng iyong puso
Ang bawat pangalan, kalaro, kaibigan
Iisa pa lamang ang minahal ko ng ganito
Iisa pa lamang, iisa pa lamang
Today I heard them play the song again
An old familiar strain from way back when
Ev'ry note and ev'ry line
It's always been a fav'rite song of mine
It used to haunt me so some years ago
Reminds me of the boy I used to know
And although the melody lives on
The mem'ries and the boy are all but gone
And while the song still brings that certain glow
And the words still sing of love I know
It isn't why the way it was before
I remember the boy but I don't remember
The feelings anymore
The promises we made seem easier then
As if we knew our love would never end
But seasons change and time erases the tears
As swiftly as the rivers disappear
So while the song still brings that certain glow
And the words still sing of love I know
It isn't why the way it was before
I remember the boy but I don't remember
The feelings I remember the boy
Your evil side is taking over again
Your torments and your fears are revolving around
Your actions
The dark side of your mind
Is nowhere to be found
You are looking for answers,
Looking for a sign of life
In this promised land
But the logic of hate
Is still haunting you
And the scholars are forgiving your words
Since you became the seeker of light,
This nucleon messiah implored at the cross
That we are erecting in your name
Your blood and your life,
Simply the essence of your being.
But who'll miss you ?
Leave the dimension that is forcing you in
You do not understand
Why your mind seems so weak.
Leave the experience that is forcing you out
You do not belong with us.
You buy yourself a share of Heaven,
While leaving your innocence
At the Gates.
You reach for the words
That were spoken in time,
While forgetting their meanings.
Reach for the light
That's calling you
Just don't deny that force
