 The lyrics depict Little Johnny's journey to Wiccan:

"Little Johnny Accan Lived by the sea His once pure heart was blackened And this is his story

He left his homeland

Skipping along But he did not know it yet But he was doing wrong

He entered Wiccan So unaware Of what he'd done to those back home I guess Johnny was scared

You see he’d always wondered What lay past his town? No one had left before he did And that's what got him down

Little Johnny Accan Lived by the sea His once pure heart was blackened And this is his story

On his way to Wiccan Across the lonely moors The Windy Witch was closing in And swiping with her claws

Oh Johnny would not slow down He had to carry on He walked through wind and rain and snow Coz Johnny was so strong

He was but child A child of Accan Brave and bold and bright he was Continuing on with passion

Little Johnny Accan Lived by the sea His once pure heart was blackened And this is his story

Little Johnny Accan Once lived by the sea He’s never been seen again

Since making his journey

Oh little Johnny Accan Wherever did he go? His tale is told to small children But the truth we'll never know".
