Lyric discussion by eiwets 

"There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done." "There’s nothing you can make that can’t be made." "Nothing you can see that isn’t shown."

people think they're powerful but they have limits. you cant do anything special. you cant do anything impossible. You are limited by reality. whats special about winning a gold medal? its not like you did the impossible you just did what was possible. figure out a science formula its know great achevment. if it wasnt possible to figure it out you never would have.

achevments are nothing all you need is to enjoy life and love. being happy is all that matters.

@eiwets You got it right (in my opinion). This is exactly how I've come to interpret the song, about 50 years after first hearing it. For years I figured that the lyrics were a sloppy attempt to say "You can do anything if you have Love." I slowly realized that this wasn't Lennon's style. He was straightforward: saying exactly what he meant. When you think about exactly what he was saying, it seems to be exactly what you are saying: You can't achieve the impossible. We are all limited...but, not to worry,...
