JOHN 1980: ''The Word' was written together (with Paul), but it's mainly mine.
You read the words, it's all about gettin' smart.
It's the marijuana period.
It's love.
It's a love and peace thing.
The word is 'love,' right?'

PAUL circa-1994: 'We smoked a bit of pot, then we wrote out a multi-colored lyric sheet, the first time we'd ever done that.
We normally didn't smoke when we were working.'

Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word, love

In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it, the word is good

Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like me
Spread the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word, love

Everywhere I go I hear it said
In the good and bad books that I have read

Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word, love

Now that I know what I feel must be right
I'm here to show everybody the light

Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine, it's sunshine
It's the word, love

Say the word, love
Say the word, love
Say the word, love
Say the word, love
