another day

another dawn

in the life of little john

he walks home

in the rain

heavy with pain

momma asks

johnny lies

silently he cries

size doesn't matter

they always said

he was afraid

 

another day

another dawn

in the life of john

he drives home

sky blue as sea

the sun shiny

his wife awaits

johnny cries

proudly, he smiles

it gets better

they always said

they were right

 

 

he grew up
