Joshua

Joshua is a little boy
He's not like you and me
He lives in the shadows of the world
Eclipsed by guns and greed

Let us find Joshua
Let us teach him this
Beyond the shadows is a world
That he would surely miss

You see, Joshua's not afraid of dyin'
He sees it every other day
People jump and think they're flyin'
`til gravity has its way

Let us find Joshua
Let us find him soon
Before the evil takes his heart and
casts his shadow by the moon

Joshua has an evil friend
But Joshua doesn't care
`cause momma always lets him down
but his friend is always there

Let us find Joshua
He's in the neighborhood
2 doors down and 5 blocks over
The walk will do us good

Joshua is a little boy
He's just like you and me
He's been hurt and he's afraid to love
Just like you and me

Let us find Joshua
Let him teach us this
With the courage to love a stranger
We can change a world like his

Hold, Hold, Hold.........
