Dear John
Lyrics by XJ Hall.

verse 1
dear. john, i know you feel alone
right now
in a world without love cause you got no power.
(power, power)
can't erase all these thoughts
that are etched in the walls
wrecked the paint when you fought.
(fought, fought)

and you sought and you fight
and you fear for the crown
when you preach solo
(solo, solo)
no ensemble around
only prayers leave the room,
cause you can't reach the phone,
(phone, phone)

yeah, you got your own plan
hand ran tangent
drawn off page rambles
stranded, island of mind
where you find insight,
ascent, enlightenment
preamble written in light
words from spite
quill black, fill white pages
assimilated as hate is
transformed to selfless might to be the right man
but why do you feel helpless?
no one understands

...

you can change the world in a moment.
in seconds in a day,
but if you had the chance to relive it again
what would you do, what would you say?

the truth can be lost with the motive
in the void of the dark
but your actions can lighten this place again
if you choose to be the spark

29 seconds. seconds. seconds. seconds.
it only takes 29 seconds...
29 seconds, 29 seconds
that's all it takes


Dear John,
i know you're angry
contemplating taking
all the hate you've been accumulating
slating it on draft
planning you're lash back
at the mishaps that have happened
in the past
relax
i'm not saying that it's not fact

what i'm sayin is,
you just might be a whiz, a gen-ius,
intelligent kid hushed into a
co-ma.
but d'you know-what
evil is?
what genius is?
and there's no-such thing
as evil genius?

cause genius would never do wrong
the sad thing be
a lot of geniuses don't belong
in so-ciety
have a lifelong
anxi-ety
due to impropriety of social norms
they have to perform and act form-ally
i.e. confrom

every genius has the choice do right
not denying that some-ti-eemes
right and crime are defined
by our time

except for deep down inside
keep trying,
that's all i'm
saying
don't give up, don't give in
i'm praying...

the never the easy thing to do right thing
we all can be geniuses
if we choose to be


you can change the world in a moment.
in seconds in a day,
but if you had the chance to relive it again
what would you do, what would you say?


the truth can be lost with the motive
in the void of the dark
but your actions can lighten the room again
if you choose to be the spark


29 seconds. seconds. seconds. seconds.
it only takes 29 seconds...
29 seconds, 29 seconds
that's all it takes


but not angry enough to not have
have empathy for your brother
you can change
29 seconds to change the world


but you do
and how
are you supposed find
elightenment now

can't find the light right now
filled


I know you're in the darkest hour
I was once where you are now
but you have to find the light
YOU have to become the light

i know you don't think it right now
but your actions are the power.
to change the world.
in a positive way
