Lyrics Rick Springfield

Rick Springfield

Joshua

Joshua, life is looking at you

Come as you are, it's a room with a view

"Time to stand up" is not an innuendo

Let the world in open up your window

Joshua I know your spirit is true

Your destiny is calling it's no time to be shy

You can fly, do or die, let me hear your battle cry

Stand your ground, you can make this old earth shake

Touch the sky, testify, open up your tiger's eye

You can turn this thing around

Make no mistake this is your battleground

Joshua, I was there from day one

I know what you are, you're no prodigal son

Never been one for the false bravado

Or left me shunned incommunicado

Joshua, you're the power of one

I know from where you stand it seems impossible to shine

You can fly, do or die, let me hear your battle cry

Dragonfly, your wings can make the oceans quake

Touch the sky, dream of fire

Looking through your tiger's eye

You can turn this thing around

Make no mistake this is your battleground

And you're not standing on your own

Joshua, you were born for this chance

Joshua, face the music and dance

You can fly, do or die, let me hear your battle cry

Stand your ground, you can make this old earth shake

Testify, live or die, open up your tiger's eye

You can turn this thing around

Make no mistake this is your battleground
