The way I look at the world has changed
The paths I walk have changed
And the reason turned out to be you
Why are my feet floating off the ground?
Your eyes that have witnessed so much chaos,
Let them look at me with a little trust
Turn me into your shield
Lock me safely inside your heart
I am your Joshua
Come live your life with me
We will go beyond the skies
Will you come?
Oh, come, come along with me
Come see my world
Wherever you go, will you take me
Along with you?
Come and sit on my lap
Hide me beneath your hair
Melt me away with a gentle bite
Hold me tight in your embrace
The smile across your face,
Keep it ready for my eyes to feast upon
The color upon your lips,
Smear it on my face and let it dry
I am your Joshua
Come see my world
Wherever you go, will you take me
Along with you?
While I remain steady like the earth,
And you rest over me like a shadow,
Even if it costs my life to protect you,
Guarding you like an eyelid protects the eye,
I will live every single day...
The way I look at the world has changed
Even the paths I walk have changed
And the reason turned out to be you
My feet too are floating up into the air
With your eyes that have witnessed chaos,
Make them look at me with a little trust
Make me your shield... your shield
Lock me safely inside your heart
I am your Joshua
Come live your life with me
We will go beyond the skies
Will you come?
Oh, come, come along with me
Come see my world
Wherever you go, will you take me
Along with you?
[Whistling]
Male: No matter what happens, will you take me in
And accept me as yours?
