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-
