Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've heard how some people have said that I've changed
That I'm not what I was, how it really is a shame
The thoughts in their heads manifest on their brow
Like bad scars from ill feelings they themselves arouse
[Chorus]
So hateful of anyone that is happy or free
They live all their lives without looking to see
The light that has lighted the world
[Verse 2]
It's funny how people just won't accept change
As if nature itself they'd prefer rearranged
So hard to move on when you're down in a hole
Where there's so little chance to experience soul
[Chorus]
I'm grateful to anyone that is happy or free
For giving me hope while I'm looking to see
The light that has lighted the world
Written by: George Harrison
