The rosaries callin' from across the seas,

The flames are dancin' in this breeze,

And the masses are kneelin' down,

While the candles never blow out,

Goodbye John, you served us well.

I remember when I was a child,
I'd see you in front of the whole crowd,
Blessings from the waving hand,
In tongues I did not understand.
Goodbye John, you served us well.

You lead us through the worst of times,
And we always made it out alright,
And I fear the worst to come,
Now that you have gone,
Goodbye John, you served us well.

Might I ask you to say one last prayer,
Pray for me before you leave here,
Pray for me before you go,
And all the things I've yet to know.
Goodbye John, you served us well.

John Paul take all our hands,
And make you ascent to heaven,
Tell God I'd like to believe,
To put your faith into me.
Goodbye John, you served us well.
