Verse 1
Johnny was cool; he was nobody’s fool
He played guitar and followed his dreams
Verse 2
They formed a band – the joker amongst his friends.
He used to say “We got it made”.
Verse 3
So it came a surprise – the day that he packed his bags.
Said he had seen a light shine in the east.
Verse 4
He went away, and no one knew what to say –
Had he just lost his way, or maybe his mind?
Bridge
Oft times I’ve wondered, where did Johnny go?
He left his life behind,
Who knows what he hoped to find, and he used to say …
Chorus
You better stay true to yourself,
Gotta be who we really are,
No point losing sleep at night,
For some things are written in the stars
Verse 5
Johnny had gone; felt like his time had come,
Felt like somebody died, when he went away.
Verse 6
Years go by. No letters, not even a card at Christmas.
Still they play his tape, and hope he might call.
Verse 7
Then out of the blue, face to face as we stand on the street I knew
That something is wrong, it’s there in his eyes
Repeat Bridge & Chorus
Verse 8
Johnny, it’s me, and I know you know who I am:
I’m the ‘you’ you’ve been hiding from – denying yourself
Instrumental
He remembered how it used to be: when he would smile and say…
Repeat Chorus
Verse 9
Johnny is home. He is waiting for you
He’s reunited – the old and the new
