Who's Jack? The origin of the name Jack is Old English. It is a medieval diminutive, originally Jackin (earlier Jankin), of the Hebrew name John which means "God is gracious". Alternatively the origin may also be the name Jacques which is the French form of the Hebrew name Jacob which means "he who supplants". Whatever its origin, the name and also the word "jack" were long used as a term to refer to any man, especially of the common classes.
The name Jack is unique in the English language for the frequency of its use as a verb and a noun for many common objects and actions; and also its use in many compound words and phrases. Jack was yesterday, today it's Jackathon, jackknife, jackpot, jack tar, hijack, union jack, jack straw, apple jack, lumberjack, jackhammer, jackdaw, jack o'lantern, jack-in-the-box, jack of clubs, ... as in Lord Teach Me House.

People get ready, get ready
'Cause here it comes, it's a light
A beautiful light, over the horizon
Into our eyes
Oh, my, my how beautiful
Oh, my beautiful mother
She told me: Son, in life you're gonna go far
If you do it right, you'll love where you are
Just know, wherever you go
You can always come home
240 Thousand miles from the moon
We've come a long way to belong here
To share this view of the night
A glorious night
Over the horizon is another bright sky
Oh, my, my how beautiful
Oh, my irrefutable father
He told me, son, sometimes it may seem dark
But the absence of the light is a necessary part
Just know, you're never alone
You can always come back home
You can always come back
Every road is a slippery slope
There is always a hand that you can hold on to
Looking deeper through the telescope
You can see that your home's inside of you
Just know, that wherever you go
No, you're never alone
You will always get back home
93 Million miles from the sun
People get ready, get ready
'Cause here it comes, it's a light
A beautiful light, over the horizon
Into our eyes
