Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
Are you bad at dealing with the fame, Joseph?
There's a pale moonshine above you
Do you see both sides, do they shove you around?
[Verse 2]
Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph?
Are the rumors eating you alive, Joseph?
[Verse 3]
When the holy night is upon you
Will you do what's right? The position is yours
[Verse 4]
From the temple walls to the New York night
Our decisions rest on a child
When she took her stand
Did she hold your hand?
Will your faith stand still or run away?
Run away
[Verse 5]
When they've driven you so far
That you think you're gonna drop
Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop?
[Verse 6]
With the plane and the lathe
The work never drove you mad
You're a maker, a creator
Not just somebody's dad
[Verse 7]
From the temple walls to the New York night
Our decisions rest on a man
When I take the stand
Will he hold my hand?
Will my faith stand still or run away?
Run away
[Verse 8]
And the desert
It's a hell of a place to find heaven
Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God
And you climb to the top of the mountain
Looking down on the city
Where you were born
On the years since you left gave you time to sit back and reflect
[Verse 9]
Better you than me
Better you than me
Better you than me
Yeah
[Verse 10]
When the Holy night is upon you
Better you, better you
Do you see both sides, do they shove you around?
[Verse 11]
Better you than me, Joseph
Better you than me
Better you than me
Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph
Better you than me
Than me
Better you than me
Better you than me
Better you, better you
Than me
[Verse 12]
Well your eyes just haven’t been the same, Joseph
