Johnny
I want to say that Johnny is o. k., but I cannot,
Johnny is in danger; this world is filled with violence,
Springtime has brought flowers; the flowers are not alone,
They are surrounded by war, poverty, injustice, prejudice, intolerance,
Hatred, greed, immorality, crime, threats, fear, lost innocence…
How did Johnny get into this mess? He did not ask to be born.
Someday he may say that very thing; we must tell him…
There is a way out; will you tell him? Do you know the way?
Please ask me, I beg you to ask; I do know the way…
Please ask me; I have been told, I would love to tell you,
I would love to tell Johnny…
