Lyrics Dear John - Jason Upton

Dear John

Do you remember when
Our mothers met
Mama told me that they lept
Is that a sign for us
Or a sign for them
When unborn babies testify

Carried between the earth and sky
Sons of eternity in time

We were born
Born of spirit
Born of water
Born of blood

Born
Child of freedom
Child of promise
Child of God

Do you remember what
Our fathers spoke
Silence broke down on our knees
There was power in their prayer
Remember what they said
They said we are the children of their dreams
Words of acceptance split the sky
Visions of heaven filled our eyes

[Chorus x2]

And do you remember how
It made us feel
To be traded for a foolish lie
I was the song that danced
You were the song that healed
Neither song could satisfy
Wisdom was fighting for her life
We, we were the children of our time
