The lyrics to this song floored me when I'd first heard them. I was about 14 and spent a lot of time listening to music while I got stuck cleaning house and simply because I was only child who was ALWAYS on restriction.
Anyway, my first love was the Beatles. At that point in time, I'd been in love with them since I was 8 when. As I said, I was 14... I was going to an all-girls Catholic highschool on Guam, the Academy of Our Lady of Guam and was subject to the Catholic religion daily. Luckily, the required 'Religion' class that year was 'Theology.' I liked Theology. The class was taught in way that asked you to question your faith. I loved it.
Anyway, these lyrics appealed to me as a child coming into her own as an adult... 20 years later, they remind me to remember why it's so important to keep some aspect of yourself enjoy life simply. As a child does.
It's what keeps your happy. It's why children who grow up in fostering, nurturing environments seem to always be happy.
Happiness, heaven, is a state of mind that we're all striving to reach. Do things in your life that make you happy and you'll find your way to heaven... maybe a little bit of 'heaven on earth.'
Reminds me to pursue happiness in everything I do.
