"Across the Universe" // The Beatles


Three images featured in the song:
     1. "...like endless rain into a paper cup."
     2. "Pools of sorrow, waves of joy..."
     3. "...like a million suns."

I don't think that any of these images are symbols in context. Two of them are just similes, and the image of "pools of sorrow, waves of joy" could just be interpreted as intense emotions which isn't a symbol.

A symbol that is widely recognizable is the bald eagle which represents America, justice, and freedom.
