Lyrics Written By Christian Elias On December 8, 2003 At 2:13 A.M.

Dedicated To John Lennon  b. October 9, 1940  d. December 8, 1980

He was a legend born on October ninth in nineteen forty
But the unpredictable came on December eighth in nineteen eighty
It was just forty short years of a rock and roll genius
His name was John Lennon and he was an inspiration to all of us

The beat is remembered
Now and for all times
The beat is remembered
As it stays with us in our minds

He was best known for The Beatles and their decade long span
From the British Invasion of 'sixty four he created millions of screaming fans
He was adored by so many and for the revolution he brought about
Through his changing rhythm and styles we would still all twist and shout

The beat is remembered
Now and for all times
The beat is remembered
As it stays with us in our minds

The Beatles now live in our hearts with our memories and our plans
They will stay hailed forever as the world's greatest rock and roll band
We'll cherish all the times that they've entertained for everyone
When we imagine then we will see them again with us in unison

The beat is remembered
Now and for all times
The beat is remembered
As it stays with us in our minds
