How Long

How Long

joseph was a humble child

selfless in his soul

spent his young days running

down by the river

where the holy water flows

catfish jumping

up to his knees in

cool colors turning

and praying for his time to come

time came through the garden there

with a lily in her hand

the world was changing

it was the first day he could mark down there

where the boy becomes a man

lord his heart was pounding

up to their knees in

cool colors turning

and into this world a child was born

how long

how long

will the mystery remain

we will never be the same

and now what will we become
