Octopus Garden

Is it too much to hope that our children can be safe at school? 
On yet another a day of terrible violence at an US school I thought of the lyrics of one of George Harrison’s Beatles songs. 
Both the melody and the lyrics seem to reflect a previous, more innocent era.
 
Oh what joy
For every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy
And they're safe
 
We would be so happy
You and me
No one there to tell us
What to do
 
I'd like to be
Under the sea
In an octopus' garden
With you
 
In an octopus' garden
With you


In an octopus' garden
With you
