Let's get poetic!

One of the aspects that we are going to introduce this year is poetic language, though just to some extent. So let's get started with a song by The Beatles: Across the Universe. It's actually one of my favourite ones. I hope you enjoy it too. Here's the video, and the lyrics with a few gaps for you to fill in. 

Words are _________ out like endless rain into a paper cup

They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe

Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are ________ through my open mind

_________ and ________ me

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

__________ of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes

They call me on and on across the universe

__________ meander like a restless wind inside a letter box

They tumble blindly as they _________ 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 ________ shades of life are _________ through my open ears

Inciting and inviting me

Limitless undying love which ________ around me like a million ________

It calls me on and on, 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

Jai Guru Deva

Jai Guru Deva

Jai Guru Deva

Jai Guru Deva

Jai Guru Deva [fade out]
