I remember listening to this song when it first came out and I found I agreed with it spiritually. Once you have found peace never let it go. But first, one has to find the core element to peace and this might be different for every person. But, as I delved deeper and deeper into God and Spirituality and studying all religions I found at core that they all basically were the same only with different cultural overlays. Since I had a friend getting a Master's degree in History of Religion specializing in Buddhsim and Sanskrit at the time at UCLA this was easier for me than for most people to have long conversations with someone who was deeply studying the history of all religions. So, in the end we both over time began to see the value of Tibetan Buddhism because it matched both our views of reality. I like the idea in Buddhism that there are 49,000 right paths to enlightenment which basically means every religion that believed in kindness and "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" (which is a part of all major religions) is correct and true.
So, I found the most highly educated of my generation and all those who came after us began to see the value of Buddhism because of it's inclusiveness of all peoples. And once you find the core of what life is about- "Nothings going to change my world" is not just words it is an ongoing experience of eternal peace both while wearing a human body on earth and forever after. Once you eliminate all the fluff and meaningless talk and go to the core you are forever free. "Nothing's going to change my world"-The Beatles.
