johnny had no choice but to leave his home to go find a job somewhere far in town

just to maintain his family on the far

he left in the morning before sunrise

with only a jug of water he hiked

hiked to the nearest rural town

As he came there

everything was so new to him

he stopped and stared

wishing his mummy was with him

so lonely and hungry he is right now

such a stranger he is in this great big town

(no food

no clothes

no shelter he's all alone

nobody to hold him close protecting him from the winters cold) ×2

(johnny wants to go

johny wants to go home)×4

johnny searched everywhere for help

he can barely feed himself

day in day out he struggled to even shelter himself

like a man he stays strong believes that one day he'll have it all

a vision comes through of his home

it encourages him to work extra hard

press press on johnny

if you try harder you will succeed

press press on johnny

if you try harder you will succeed

no food

no clothes

no shelter he's so alone

nobody to hold him close

protecting him from the winters cold

(johnny wants to go

johnny want to go home)×4
