Joshua: 45-46

Lyrics

You feel like you are 17 Your back says you are 45 At least it does this morning You've lost the kicks from your old tricks In a week you will be 46 The birthday's come without warning How did I become so old I'm not really old but I'm no longer young And now I'm playing this guitar It feels so good to sing My fingers on these strings And I get stopped in airports 'cause I played an architect Some people think that's who I am It used to drive me crazy and some days it still does But I'm learning how not to give a damn What do they think of me What a waste of time I've wasted so much time With all those years of walking blind I was hypnotized, mud upon my еyes Oh Joshua, he made a mighty sound and thе walls came tumbling down In old Jericho, now I bear his name and I'm doing the same The walls are coming down I started writing songs when I was just north of forty I try to write some every day I wish that I had started sometime in the '90s But I'm not sure I had much to say Oh with my Leo sun, Saggitarian moon, born late afternoon With all that fire in my chest, I have had to learn how not to get burned And Richard says that God is love, I'm starting to believe him I can feel it in the mountains, in the water, in the air And Julian said that all is well, Theresa said there is a hell It's just that no-one's is there I know it's good to be alive It's good to have a body It's good to have a mind And I, I'm done with right and wrong God is not a test, but arms where I can rest Oh Joshua, he made a mighty sound and the walls came tumbling down In old Jericho, now I bear his name and I'm doing the same Oh Joshua, he made a mighty sound and the walls came tumbling down In old Jericho, now I bear his name and I'm doing the same Oh Joshua, he made a mighty sound and the walls came tumbling down (x7) In old — in old Jericho, and now I bear his name and I'm doing the same
