Yoko Ono Lyrics
"A Thousand Times Yes"

I said yes, I said yes, I said yes
I prayed a thousand times yes
And the no that was hanging over the buildings
Faded like the moon at dawn

When I was young I thought I was facing
A very aware world ahead
I didn't know it was going to be
Beware of dogs instead

I said no, I said no, I said no
I said no a million times to no
But the yes that was in it's last breath
Still hovered in a room with a permanent flu

When I was young I didn't know
That one can only read life in braille
I was still struggling
To catch life on it's tail

I said why, I said why, I said why
I asked why for the billionth time
And my bone slowly lost it's moist
Like a leftover coke bottle on the street

Yes, this dry whiteness of a thing
On the square, thats my bone
It lets the wind pass over like the last tender fraud
Makes a little noise like old campaign billboard

I said yes, I said yes, I said yes
I prayed a thousand times yes
And the no that was hanging over
Faded
