Laugh, God's children,
good John said,
leave your burying for the dead because of him.
A new son shone,
a man from God,
whose name was John,
good John,
good John.
Arms wide open,
your brother me,
good John asked for unity because of him.
A new son shone,
a man from God, whose name was John,
good John,
good John.
Then a veil of grief came low,
but John's great hour,
here below because of him.
A new son shone,
a man from God, whose name was John,
good John,
good John.
Gone the love man,
missed his worth,
but John's last message was peace on earth because of him.
A new son shone, a man from God,
whose name was John,
good John,
good John.
