No, Joshua, no
No, Joshua, no
No, Joshua, no
No, Joshua, no

You took them out of bondage and they thank you for it
You sung them songs of love and they try to sing with it
But now in the desert, are you battered and bruised?
They think they are forsaken, they think they have been used

Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
Rasta is watching and blaming you

Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say, you must forward and start anew

You know those who fought for you, you thank them for it
You led them across the Red Sea when fear of drown in it
But now in the jungle, you man, shout out, ?Lion?
Older men are patient but they long for Zion

Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
Rasta is watching and blaming you

Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say, you must forward and start anew

No, Joshua, no
No, Joshua, no
No, Joshua, no
I say, no, Joshua, no

Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
Rasta is watching and blaming you

Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say, you must forward and start anew

You took them out of bondage and they thank you for it
You sung them songs of love and they try to sing with it
But now in the jungle, shouting, ?Lion?
Older men are patient, but they long for Zion

Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
Rasta is watching and blaming you, blaming you, blaming you

Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say, you must forward and start anew

Since you are my friend, Joshua
Know, Joshua
Rasta is watching and blaming you

Since you are my friend, Joshua
I think you should know, Joshua
They say, you must
