EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS

AND IT’S HEAVEN, WHEN YOU ARE CLEAR

BUT TO STAY THERE YOU, HAVE TO BE HERE AND NOW

YOU HOLD THE KEY TO EVERYTHING

BUT WHAT WILL YOU DO

WHEN YOU HEAR THE ANGELS SING...

EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS

EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS MINE

ALL THE TREASURES OF THE WORLD

ALL THE BEAUTY THAT YOU FIND

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS CHOOSE

ALL YOU REALLY GOTTA DO IS DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT INSIDE

YOU PICK YOUR LIFE, IT’S UP TO YOU

I GIVE YOU ALL, WHEN YOU GIVE TO EACH OTHER

THOU ART MY CHILD, I AM IN THEE

SO WHY ARE YOU EMPTY WHEN YOUR LIFE IS FULL OF ME

EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS

EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS MINE

ALL THE TREASURES OF THE WORLD

ALL THE BEAUTY THAT YOU FIND

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS CHOOSE

ALL YOU REALLY GOTTA DO IS DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT INSIDE

YOU’RE IN HEAVEN, NOW YOU ARE HERE

BUT TO STAY HERE YOU MUST BE AWARE OF WHO YOU REALLY ARE

YOU ARE THE KEY THAT OPENS THE DOOR

SO OPEN YOUR MIND AND FIND OUT WHAT LIFE IS FOR

EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS

EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS MINE

ALL THE TREASURES OF THE WORLD

ALL THE BEAUTY THAT YOU FIND

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS CHOOSE

ALL YOU REALLY GOTTA DO IS DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT INSIDE

EVERYTHING I HAVE IS YOURS

EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS MINE

THE SUN, THE MOON AND ALL THE STARS

AND EVERY SINGLE THING THAT SHINES IN THIS UNIVERSE BELONGS TO YOU

ALL YOU REALLY GOTTA DO IS DECIDE TO ACCEPT IT

IT’S UP TO YOU MY BELOVED

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS LET IT IN, LET IT IN

ACCEPT IT, INSIDE

WISDOM FROM THE BEATLES?

The Beatles are unarguably one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Their music has infused the ears and minds of our planet for longer than I have been alive. But, how many times have you really listened to the music and contemplated its spiritual essence?

On Wednesday night, August 14, 2013, at the Center for Spiritual Living Capistrano Valley I, along with fellow musicians Rick Dale and Dave Friedman presented a unique concert at our weekly Wednesday’s Wisdom service entitled, “The Greatest Metaphysical Hits of the Beatles: An Evening of Music and Inspiration.” The hour consisted of several Beatles hits, some very well-known and others somewhat more obscure, including a discussion of the metaphysical meanings behind each song. The enthusiastic audience not only enjoyed reminiscing and singing along with the music; they also were given a new awareness about each piece’s lesson on living a more expansive and satisfying life.

The evening opened with the profound “Blackbird.” Although Paul McCartney wrote this song about the civil rights struggle for African-American freedom after reading about the race riots in the US, we can take this song and apply it to our own lives today. The struggles we experience in life (and we all do) actually teach and strengthen us so we are able to move forward and realize our dreams. The lyrics “take these broken wings and learn to fly…” say that no matter how broken we may believe ourselves to be, we can still learn to fly, and when we fly, we shine light upon that darkness that once held us back; “Blackbird fly, into the light of the dark black night.” The musical journey continued into the evening, travelling the long and winding road through laughter and tears.

The evening concluded with a rousing rendition of “Hey Jude.” Paul McCartney wrote this song as “Hey Jules,” intended to comfort John Lennon’s 5-year-old son Julian as his parents were divorcing. (The change to “Jude” was inspired by the character Judd in the musical Oklahoma.) For us, the meaning at depth is that of the human condition, both at its bleakest and at its most exalted. We indeed can take a sad song, or a sad life, and make it better by calling upon the divine power of love.

And as a very wise man once said, all you need is love.
