John
John, in the hour of the confession
Within I had a vision
And a fearful word.
Trapped in the grasp of indecision
My mouth became a prison
And I couldn't be heard.
{Chorus}
John, the road is winding,
The mountains so blinding to look upon.
John, it's all that matters,
Make straight when you shatter every path we've known.
Your mother, a daughter of good lineage,
Of the landless class percentage
Relieved all her shame -
Of age, conceived a mortal treasure
Who had no equal measure
In deed or name.
{Chorus}
Come to us now
Anyway anyhow
In a fire in a wind
With a mind to offend
Every heart that's grown cold
Like the prophet of old.
{Chorus}
