Joshua
Joshua's Resilience: Defying Lies, Embracing Truth
Lyrics
He never held the deed
Joshua never had legal ownership
And always tried to sow the seed
He consistently attempted to initiate growth or change
Doubt took root to breed
Doubt took hold and multiplied
Joshua held his ground
Joshua stood his ground against challenges
Joshua held his ground
Reiteration of Joshua's resilience
In a land built on lies
In a dishonest society
Where everyone denies the Truth
Where people deny the absolute Truth
Through smoky eyes
Amidst deception
Joshua held his ground
Joshua maintained his position despite falsehoods
Joshua held his ground
Emphasizing Joshua's unwavering stance
With the day seeming bleak
In a seemingly hopeless situation
The end of the rainbow they tried to seek
People sought the unattainable
Without knowing just how weak
Unaware of their vulnerability
Joshua held his ground
Joshua stood firm in adversity
Joshua held his ground
Reiteration of Joshua's resilience
He thought of the day after tomorrow
Contemplating the future
With arms to embrace the ugly
Ready to embrace the unpleasant
Broken-hearted and purging all decay
Overcoming heartbreak and purifying from decay
Nobody wished to go
No one wanted to face reality
The Truth was too true to know
Truth was too uncomfortable to acknowledge
And no trees would grow
No growth or positive change
Still Joshua held his ground
Despite challenges, Joshua stood his ground
Joshua held his ground
Reiteration of Joshua's resilience
With an aim to be wise
Striving for wisdom
And all who would criticize
Facing criticism with humility
Humility to chastise
Condemning arrogance and pride
Joshua held his ground
Joshua stood his ground amidst judgment
Joshua held his ground
Reiteration of Joshua's resilience
What do these stones mean to you?
Raising questions about personal significance
Will you let yourself be made new?
Will you allow transformation?
All that's sad will become untrue
Promising a positive change from sorrow
Joshua held his ground
Joshua stood firm despite emotional challenges
Joshua held his ground
Reiteration of Joshua's resilience
He thought of the day after tomorrow
Contemplating the future again
With arms to embrace the ugly
Ready to accept the unpleasant once more
Broken-hearted and purging all decay
Overcoming heartbreak and purifying from decay again
