I love many songs from the Beatles White Album, but discovered to my horror yesterday that I’d never actually listened to all of tracks. I heard this Lennon penned song, Dear Prudence, for the first time and it struck a chord. The chord turned into inspiration for altered lyrics, to serve as the poetic voice to describe the battle with Chronic Illness. Hands up if you agree?
Dear Impudence
Won’t you let me out to play?
Dear Impudence
Make me whole again each day
To enjoy the sun up, the sky blue
It would be beautiful, to be anew
Dear Impudence
Won't you let me out to play?
Dear Impudence
See me, don’t advert your eyes
Dear Impudence
Let me bath in sunny skies
The wind low, the birds that sing
I want to be part of everything
Dear Impudence
Why won’t you open up your eyes?
Look around
Dear Impudence
Bless me with your smile
Dear Impudence
My unerring petulant child
Let the clouds form a daisy chain
So l can smile again
Dear Impudence
Won’t you let me smile?
Dear Impudence
Won’t you let me out to play?
Dear Impudence
I want to greet the brand new day
See the sun up, the sky blue
It would be beautiful, to be anew
Dear Impudence
Free me, so I can go out to play.
