Amazingly, no one has yet mentioned the song that is perhaps the best candidate for this thread...
Within You, Without You, by the Beatles.
(Although it is credited to the Beatles, it is a George Harrison song, and he is the only Beatle who plays on the tune {along with Sir George Martin, Neil Aspinall, and a bunch of Indian musicians, who are, unfurtunately, uncredited....})
We were talking-about the space between us all
And the people-who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion
Never glimpse the truth-then it's far too late-when they pass away.
We were talking-about the love we all could share-when we find it
To try our best to hold it there-with our love
With our love-we could save the world-if they only knew.
Try to realize it's all within yourself
No-one else can make you change
And to see you're really only very small,
And life flows ON within you and without you.
We were talking-about the love that's gone so cold and the people,
Who gain the world and lose their soul-
They don't know-they can't see-are you one of them?
When you've seen beyond yourself-then you may find, peace of mind,
Is waiting there-
And the time will come when you see
we're all one, and life flows on within you and without you.
