Power works in mysterious ways. You don’t have to do much. Visualise the domino effect And just start thinking PEACE.

„I gave you my life, you gave me my life.
Like a gush of wind in my hair.“
— Yoko Ono
"Walking On Thin Ice" on Season of Glass (1981).
Kontext: I gave you my life, you gave me my life.
Like a gush of wind in my hair.
Why do we forget what's been said
And play the game of life with our hearts?
„I usually stay away from being carried away,
But one day I saw a silver horse.“
— Yoko Ono
"Silver Horse" on Season of Glass (1981).
Kontext: I usually stay away from being carried away,
But one day I saw a silver horse.
I thought he might take me to that somewhere high,
I thought he might take me to that deep blue sky. I came to realize that the horse had no wings.
No wings, well, it wasn't so bad, you know. I learnt to travel the world around
And run on the ground in the morning.
And that's the story of a wandering soul,
A story of a dreamer.
„Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price.
I'm throwing the dice in the air.“
— Yoko Ono

Kontext: Walking on thin ice, I'm paying the price.

Why must we learn it the hard way
And play the game of life with your heart?
„Never say goodbye,
You say tomorrow's another day,
All I know is we're here today.“
— Yoko Ono
"Never Say Goodbye" on It's Alright (I See Rainbows) (1982).
Kontext: Never say goodbye,
You say tomorrow's another day,
All I know is we're here today. I've got nightmares I could never share with you,
The kind that keeps me up all night.
So hold me tight till the room is light
And tell me that it's all right.
