Caleb Peters - John Doe Lyrics

I saw a sign of John the other day
Made me think of his rich soul in youth
I heard a cry from mountains far away
Fading tones that roll in
I vision his fair skin and golden tooth
But I know better than to wait
He still has some seasons to go through
When he makes it back It's hard to say
Change is hard to go with
He drowns the pain in sin with lack of proof

But I heard she comes in winds and blows in storms
You can pray for peace but she won't break her course
In a blur she numbs the sinning hearts to form
An angel from an animal at war
An angel from an animal at war

Heard from folks in town he's gone insane
His family can't look him in the eye
Say they wish to turn around his ways
But the one he loved was stolen
Can't tell a man to let the pain go by
At night he lurks in search of Jane
Delusional that god had saved a life
Less left in the bottle less the pain
What the voices told him
Tell him he can reach her if he tries

But I heard she comes in winds and blows in storms
You can pray for peace but she won't break her course
In a blur she numbs the sinning hearts to form
An angel from an animal at war
An angel from an animal at war
