DEAR JOHN what’s happened now?
Did they tell you things you didn’t want to hear?
Did they tell you every corner in this labyrinth of life
Would turn you down another path of pain?
No matter what you do the outcome’s still the same.
DEAR JOHN what’s happened now
And even though the road you travel here
Must come to an end
Your journey’s far from done.
You must know that there is more than meets the eye
That a Paradise is on the other side
And it waits for you to leave this world behind
DEAR JOHN what’s happened now?

DEAR JOHN are you there now?
Did you finally find the place you want to be?
Did you find the veil is no more than a moments blink away
And everything he promised you came true
That Heavens gates have opened up and welcomed you
DEAR JOHN are you there now?
And even though the road you traveled here
Has come to an end
Your journey’s just begun.
You have shown that there is more than meets the eye
Never wavered in your faith or in your stride
In the face of how you left this world behind
DEAR JOHN are you there now?

DEAR JOHN where are you now?
Do you hear me when I’m crying out for you?
Do you hear me when talkin’ to this stone that bears your name?
And thinking of the days that used to be.
And wondering if you ever stop and think of me.
DEAR JOHN where are you now?
And even though the road I travel here
Will someday come to an end
My journey’s far from done.
Now I know that there is more than meets the eye
That my father’s waiting on the other side
And he waits until I  leave this world behind
Waiting for that moments blinking of an eye
DEAR JOHN what’s happened now?
