Joshua

Born into the wrong home He would work the ticket counter just to catch a break From raging fire and brimstone They would tear him down to nothing To try and set him straight Living in the same town I could offer my condolences with nothing more Than sharing all our favorite sounds And spread our rock CD's like leaves across my parent's floor In the end, I knew that he would find his own way But when the chips are down you count up all the tough breaks All in time the trumpets will sound Joshua I know there's a change inside of you But all around ya The walls surround Working at a dead-end job With his friends in school, he toiled in the loading docks Whirlpools kept him spinnin' round Til they laid him off for smashing in the timeclock There were times when I would stop and try to reach out But all or nothing predetermines ways to fall out All in time the trumpets will sound Joshua I know there's a change inside of you But all around ya The walls surround I was in the van alone When Josh called to break the silence of a year gone by And straighten out the broken bones So we pulled it back together for the old times Now he's headed to the West Coast Cause' he found a man to love and that's a reason why So write a script and cast yourself In a picture reminiscent of a sunrise But I was happy on the day that you had called up Cause it was only time before I knew you'd rise up By and by the trumpets will sound Joshua Could you feel a change inside of you Cause look around ya The walls come down Joshua Could you feel a change inside of you Cause look around ya The walls come down
