I can't get this song out of my head. It's really good and
gremlin4 should know who this reminds me of. ^^
I did a poor translations of the lyrics, since the song is in Spanish. The name wasn't translated. His name is Juan, not John or Johnny. Just Juan.
Here they are:
Song: The story of Juan
Artist: Juanes
This is the story of Juan
The boy that nobody loved
Who grew up on the streets
Searching for love below the sun
His mother abandoned him
His father mistreated him
His home was an alleyway
His bed was of cardboard
His friend was God
Juan asked for love
And the world refused him
Juan asked for honor
And the world gave him dishonor
Juan asked for forgiveness
And the world hurt him
Juan asked and asked
And the world never listened
He just wanted to play
He just wanted to dream
He just wanted to love
But the world forgot him
He just wanted to fly
He just wanted to sing
He just wanted to love
But the world forgot him
So strong was his pain
That one day it took him
So strong was his pain
That his heart was extinguished
So strong was his fear
That one day he just wept
So strong was his fear
One day his light was extinguished
He just wanted to play
He just wanted to dream
He just wanted to love
But the world forgot him
He just wanted to fly
He just wanted to sing
He just wanted to love
But the world forgot him

The original lyrics are here:
Cancion: La Historia de Juan
Artista: Juanes
Esta es la historia de Juan
El niño que nadie amó
Que por las calles creció
Buscando el amor bajo el sol
Su madre lo abandonó
Su padre lo maltrató
Su casa fue un callejón
Su cama un cartón su amigo Dios
Juan preguntó por amor
Y el mundo se lo negó
Juan preguntó por honor
Y el mundo le dió deshonor
Juan preguntó por perdón
Y el mundo lo lastimó
Juan preguntó y preguntó
Y el mundo jamás lo escuchó
El sólo quiso jugar
El sólo quiso soñar
El sólo quiso amar
Pero el mundo lo olvidó
El sólo quiso volar
El sólo quiso cantar
El sólo quiso amar
Pero el mundo lo olvidó
Tan fuerte fue su dolor
Que un día se lo llevó
Tan fuerte fue su dolor
Que su corazón se apagó
Tan fuerte fue su temor
Que un día solo lloró
Tan fuerte fue su temor
Que un día su luz se apagó
El sólo quiso jugar
El sólo quiso soñar
El sólo quiso amar
Pero el mundo lo olvidó
El sólo quiso volar
El sólo quiso cantar
El sólo quiso amar
Pero el mundo lo olvidó
