Lost Child |
Picked up by the police, only seventeen |
What did he do, what did he say? |
His father left him as a little boy |
His mother turned tricks just to buy his toys |
Seventy-two hour evaluation |
Immediate psychiatric help |
But Johnny wasn’t crazy |
He was just an angry boy |
Hey! |
Years later nothing much has changed |
Liquor, drugs, and gangs have made him a man |
Living in the streets in a world of his own |
He stops and watches his heart turn to stone |
He’s an important person now |
He’s running with a wayward crowd |
But Johnny wasn’t crazy |
He was just a lonely boy |
Hey! |
The pain got too great, an eventual suicide |
Fear and anger were trapped deep inside |
If only Johnny could have opened up his heart |
Then me and Johnny would’ve never had to part |
He’s tired of running the vicious circle |
He loaded and cocked his .45 |
But Johnny wasn’t crazy |
He was just a frightened boy |
Oh, how many Johnnys must there be? |
Oh, Johnny, how I wish you were here |
Oh, how many Johnnys must there be? |
Oh, Johnny, how I wish you were here |
Oh, Johnny, how I wish |
Oh, how I wish you were here |
