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.
(Verse)
The distance has gone
It disappeared with the sun
No, I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
(Bridge)
I kissed resistance goodbye
I got lost in your eyes
No, I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
(Hook)
There's a place where I wanna be
A million miles from reality
As one...
We are one...
(Hook 2)
We've ignored all the warning signs
Just come with me and we'll cross the line
As one...
We are one...
We are one!
We are one!
We are one!
(Bridge)
I kissed resistance goodbye
I got lost in your eyes
No, I won't let you down
No, I won't let you down
(Hook)
There's a place where I wanna be
A million miles from reality
As one...
We are one...
We are one!
We are one!
(Hook)
There's a place where I wanna be
A million miles from reality
As one...
We are one...
(Hook 2)
We've ignored all the warning signs
Just come with me and we'll cross the line
As one...
We are one...
We are one!
We are one!
(Hook)
There's a place where I wanna be
A million miles from reality
As one...
We are one...
We are one!
We are one!
