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
