Average song rating The story behind the song is almost as touching as the song itself. Imagine being Prudence Farrow with a famous, glamorous sister making a special trip to India to find some meaning and maybe even a personal spiritual contact. Instead, she finds herself surrounded by the most celebrated people in the world. Man, I would spend all my time in a tent, too. Anyway, this is John's appeal for this poor girl to perhaps find God by coming out of the tent and seeing her place in the beauty surrounding her. How can you not love John for making such a gesture? You know, I cannot name two movies that Mia Farrow acted in, but I know all the words to this song and play it all the time, so perhaps dear Prudence found herself a niche after all.

Lyrics

Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play
Dear Prudence, greet the brand new day
The sun is up, the sky is blue
It's beautiful and so are you
Dear Prudence won't you come out and play

Dear Prudence open up your eyes
Dear Prudence see the sunny skies
The wind is low the birds will sing
that you are part of everything
Dear Prudence won't you open up your eyes?

Look around round
Look around round round
Look around

Dear Prudence let me see you smile
Dear Prudence like a little child
The clouds will be a daisy chain
So let me see you smile again
Dear Prudence won't you let me see you smile?
