Across The Universe
Beatles · Let it be
Words are flowing out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me
Jai guru o deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
They call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they stumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
inciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe
Jai guru o deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Across The Universe
Released on the 1970 album Let It Be, "Across The Universe" stands as a pivotal track in the Beatles' late-period catalog. Written by George Harrison, the song blends psychedelic rock with classical influences, featuring a distinctive opening guitar riff that sets a reflective tone. The recording captures the band's evolving sound during their final years, characterized by intricate harmonies and a more introspective lyrical approach compared to their earlier work. As a staple of their discography, the track has been widely covered and remains a significant example of the group's mastery of studio production and melodic composition in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
