"Let me tell you about Johnny White,
He preached the light,
But sinned at night,
So much so that he lost his sight,
He said I'll pray for you,
Don't act all blue,
Trust in the Lord
And He will be with you,
But he spat in the face of the King,
And said I don't need your crown or your ring,
I'd rather chase my desires,
And play with briars,
Spill some blood,
And roll around in mud
But when the sunshine comes,
He'd go back to preaching love,
He put on a mask,
and hid his flask
Of sin, regret, and all of his temptations,
When no one was looking he'd take a sip for some good vibrations,
For he was empty inside,
An empty husk that couldn't even cry,
He filled his hole with a temporary fix,
Knowing that it wouldn't do the trick,
He tried to run from the One who could solve him,
the only One trying to absolve him,
Who could take him in,
Patch him up from limb to limb,
Give him a new heart and say your in,
No, he kept running,
Listening to the one who was cunning,
believed in his lies,
And thought he could never die,
Everything was just fine,
He told people he was good,
But he was hiding behind his hood,
Until it was ripped off,
he found himself in a standoff,
It was either fall completely to your desires,
Or give up to the One who is higher,
Tears came to his blood shot eyes,
He fell to his muddy knees and looked to the sky,
But saw nothing but a starry night.
A hand reached out and gave him a fright,
He whirled around and saw the King,
the one who offered him the crown and the ring,
He was panting, and ******,
And his fine robes were all muddy,
He stretched out his hand and told him to stand,
whispering, won't you come with me to sing again?"
