Story of John Lyrics


PART 1:

On a one night’s stand it happened

A new life started

It wasn’t meant to be

It was a child that was not meant to be

An unwanted child’s innocent soul

Became the centre for people’s rage and hate

LITTLE JOHN WHY ARE YOU BORN

THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REASON TO LIVE AT ALL

HATED AND REJECTED BY THE WORLD

A LIFE THAT HAD BETTER BEEN LEFT UNHEARD

PART 2:

He struggled through the first grades of school

Tried to get friends and get accepted there

But no one wanted to know an unwanted child

He became the centre of people’s rage and hate

Approaching the age fifteen

His life has turned its wheel

He tried to find truth but failed

Like every other dream he had made

LITTLE JOHN WHY ARE YOU BORN

THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REASON TO LIVE AT ALL

HATED AND REJECTED BY THE WORLD

A LIFE THAT HAD BETTER BEEN LEFT UNHEARD

LITTLE JOHN WHY ARE YOU BORN

THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REASON TO LIVE AT ALL

HATED AND REJECTED BY THE WORLD

A LIFE THAT HAD BETTER BEEN LEFT UNHEARD

He began to commit crimes to get rid of the life’s pollution

It gave him kicks and he thought this might the solution

Everything seemed to turn alright

He felt strength and great might

Suddenly he became king in his hood

And for the first time he felt in good mood

Could this be the turning point?

After seventeen years of living hell

Could this be the answer of his wishing well?

But one day all the hell broke loose

He was doing one of his raids

When all of a sudden he was discovered by a young maid

Frightened to death he screamed to her “don’t move”!

But she answered with a horrifying yell

John pulled the trigger and took an innocent life away

Just nineteen years old

His life was to the prison sold

15 years was the time they said

That was the price of that young maid

But he felt that his life was already dead

Since the beginning they had said

You’re not wanted here

There’s nobody who for you want to care

LITTLE JOHN WHY ARE YOU BORN

THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REASON TO LIVE AT ALL

HATED AND REJECTED BY THE WORLD

A LIFE THAT HAD BETTER BEEN LEFT UNHEARD

PART 3:

A couple of years came and went

It was a living hell for John to see

So when he got a rope he thought it was heaven sent

Now he could end a life that was not meant to be

As he attached the rope around his head

He heard a heavenly voice who said

“You are loved by me my boy

Come to my open arms and I’ll give you joy

Without knowing what that meant

John took off his rope and knelt to the ground

He felt for the very first time that he has found

A love so great and real

A never ending journey started

All that was in the past faded away

JOHN YOU WERE BORN FOR A REASON

BECAUSE I LOVED YOU FROM THE START

I WANT TO WASH YOUR PAIN AWAY

BECAUSE WITH ME YOU'RE ALWAYS ACCEPTED

John had never felt this loved before

And even if some troubles on his way still occurred

He was now a different man

And lived his life to spread the love to his fellow man

After five years he was from prison released

Became a preacher and from the bible he preached

"YOU WERE BORN FOR A REASON

BECAUSE GOD LOVED YOU FROM THE START

HE WANTS TO WASH YOUR PAIN AWAY

BECAUSE WITH HIM YOU'RE ALWAYS ACCEPTED"
