From liverpool

To tokyo,

What a way to go.

From distant lands,

One woman, one man,

Let the four winds blow.

Three thousand miles over the ocean.

Three thousand light-years

From the land of the rising sun.

Love has opened my eyes,

Love has blown right through.

Wherever you are, (wherever you are)

You are here. (you are here)

Wherever you are, (wherever you are)

You are here. (you are here)

Three thousand miles over the ocean.

Three thousand light-years

From the land of surprising sun.

Well, now east is east

And west is west,

The twain shall meet.

East is west and west is east,

Let it be complete.

Three thousand miles over the ocean.

Three thousand light-years

From the land of the morning star.

Yoko Ono's 'You Are Here' stands as a quintessential example of her pioneering work in conceptual and performance art music. Released during the height of her collaboration with John Lennon, the track embodies the minimalist aesthetic and direct emotional resonance characteristic of their 1968-1970 period. The song functions less as a traditional composition and more as an invitation for listener participation, aligning with Ono's broader philosophy of creating experiences rather than static objects. Its simple melodic structure and unadorned vocal delivery reflect the raw, unmediated communication she sought to achieve, influencing generations of artists who prioritized conceptual integrity over technical complexity. As a standalone recording, it remains a powerful testament to the fusion of pop sensibility and avant-garde experimentation that defined the late Beatles era and Ono's solo trajectory.
