This week I'll introduce about " ACROSS THE UNIVERSE"
First, please listen " ACROSS THE UNIVERSE" with looking the words of  this song.
~The words of "ACROSS THE UNIVERSE"~

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world



"Across the Universe" is work by lennon=McCartney. It is said that "Across The Universe" is substantially work of Jhon Lennon.

I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone
I'm not so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my ming
I've opened up the doors

Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
But every now nad then I feel so insecure
I know that I just need you like
I've never done before

Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

When I was younger
So much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone
I'm net so self-assured
Now I find I've changed my mind
I've opened up the doors

Help me if you can
I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

Help me, help me!
