Context

This line is from the song "Across the Universe" by The Beatles, from the album No One's Gonna Change Our World (1969).

The repeated line in the chorus is a simple meditation affirming that no one, or nothing, is gonna ruin Lennon's joy and happiness. It's a good thing to remind yourself when you're making your way across the universe.
