John, can you hear the music where you are
Can you still draw down the sun with your guitar
Do you still know how to heal a heart with a reason and a rhyme
Did you know that you were running out of time
Did you know that you were running out of time
John, can you feel the wind up where you are
Did you finally get to ride your shooting star
Do you fly on wings of eagles like you flew on wings of steel
Was there someone there to catch you when you fell
Was there someone there to catch you when you fell
John, can you touch the mountains where you are
Do you trace your fingers over every scar
Do you kneel beside Her rivers, do you weep beside Her streams
Are Her pathways still the landscape of your dreams
Are Her pathways still the landscape of your dreams
John, can you hear Her crying where you are
Is She dying, John? Did we finally go too far
Do the shadows of the starlight look different from above
Do you still believe we’re worthy of your love
Do you still believe we’re worthy of your love
John, can you see the sunrise where you are
Were the gifts you gave us sent from Baltazar
Did you know your poems and promises are offered up in prayer
Is anybody listening up there
John, tell me you’re still listening up there
