I last (and only) played this one three years ago, but it’s one of those songs like John Lennon’s Imagine that is timeless. Interestingly, the last two times I played this one it was suggested by Keith, as it was this time! Last time, he came up with an idea that we should write new lyrics more timely to our situation today … hmmmm … sounds like a cool idea, but I’m no wordsmith, so maybe you…
