[Verse:]
Good morning, John:
Ain't it great to see your future shining brighter
Than the naked light of day?
You made it, John:
But I confess there was a time we two have thought
That you might let it slip away
I love you, John
In the cold and holy darkness
You were always shining brighr than a star
God bless you, John
For the love and joy you've given
As the living inspiration that you are
You scared me, John
'Cos you've crossed so many borders into danger
With the price upon your head
They got you, John
And it hurts to see so many friends who ran
Along beside you laying dead
I know you, John
There ain't nothing you can't handle now
'Cause there ain't nothing bigger than your heart
Keep shining, John
For you owe it to the others as the dark
And holy wonder that you are
Hang in there, John
It's a rocky road to glory
But the straightest and the strongest will survive
Keep smiling, John
We won't make it there tomorrow
But today let's say we're lucky we're alive
I see you, John
For the best of good intentions
Have a way of getting scattered by the wind
I mean it, John
You might lose your mind or memory
But you ain't gonna lose me as your friend
