"For me, Dear John is about
choices. So much beauty - so much pain in this crazy blender of a
world. My power lies in choosing what I focus on. Life is a
whisper of a moment in time. Working on this video was a potent
reminder to choose wisely."

"This song was
born three years ago in a shower of tears. Kiki's melody and lyrics
flowed in on a river of frustration and grief. As I played guitar for
her, I witnessed the birth and experienced her love for the empowered
perspective of John Lennon. The images in this new video crystallize
the feeling and message of Dear John. " - greg webb (5/31/2010)
dear
john
dear john
are you still watching
dear john
dear john
do you still care
I can’t quite find the words to tell you
what’s been going on down here
I really need someone to talk to
are you still there
dear john
sweet john
dear john
dear john
do you have connections
from where
you are
could you pull some strings
the tribes are lost and can’t stop fighting
lakes and rivers are running dry
the sky above is thick and murky
I can hardly breathe
oh john
dear john
dear john
dear john
I try to imagine
one world
one people
and no religion, too
but I’ve been aching and so weary
I’ve been fearful of the dark
so if you see this earth more clearly
from where you are
could you light a star
could you gimme a sign
maybe bloom a flower
or paint a sunrise
could you send me a message
like a double rainbow
a shimmer of sunlight
or blazing northern lights
any little hopeful sign
like a couple of sundogs
shower of starlight
over a moonlit lake
could you giggle a baby
color the forest leaves
flutter my curtains
babble a brook
any little hopeful sign
it would be so nice
it would be so nice
it would be so nice
it would be so nice
.................
