Closer To The Bone

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 or two
 I thought that you might let it slip away.


 I love you John!
 In the cold and holy darkness
 You were always shinin' brighter than a star
 God bless you John!
 For the love and joy you've given
 And the livin' inspiration that you are.


 You scared me John!
 'Cause you crossed so many borders
 Into danger with a price upon your head
 They got you John!
 And it hurt to see so many friends
 Who ran along beside you lyin' dead.


 I know you John
 There ain't nothing you can't handle out there
 Ain't nothing bigger than your heart
 Keep shinin' John
 For you owe it to the others
 And the dark and holy wonder that you are.


 Hang in there John!
 It's a rocky road to glory
 But the strangest and the strongest will survive
 Keep smilin' John!
 We won't make it there tomorrow
 But today let's say we're lucky we're alive.


 I'll see you John!
 Though the best of good intentions
 Have a way of gettin' scattered by the wind
 I'm leavin' John!
 You can lose your mind and mem'ry
 But you ain't gonna lose me as your friend.


 Good morning John!
