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 sang 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

I say, No Joshua no

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 sang them songs of love

And they try to sing with it



But now in the jungle

Shouting 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, blaming you, blaming you

Since you are my friend, Joshua

I think you should know, Joshua-
