Hey, Joshua

I woke from a dream where we were together
Floating for a moment but it felt like forever
I drifted awake, but couldn't escape
A mourning that grew to take your shape
The familiar dread filled my head
And welled my eyes with words unsaid

Thought I'd left this behind
So many years ago
Thought I'd surely find
A way to let this go

Hey, Joshua
Where are you now?
Hey, Joshua
What have you found?
I hope you're happy
I hope you're whole
Hey, Joshua
Promise me, you've healed your soul

I opened my book of yesterday's blues
And fell into a hole I couldn't refuse
I unearthed this lost and buried guilt
Beneath a life we never built
There's so much here I can't recover
Gifts I'll never give to another lover

Thought I'd left this behind
So many years ago
Thought I'd surely find
A way to let this go

Hey, Joshua
Where are you now?
Hey, Joshua
What have you found?
I hope you're happy
I hope you're whole
Hey, Joshua
Promise me, you've healed your soul

Your heart is a stone
I'm turning in my palm
Fingers searching for
Where they belong
I can't find my place
Is it time to let go?
I waited years for you
You'll never know

I still wear your hurt like a uniform
Pressed and ready for the day you return

Hey, Joshua
Are you home now?
Hey, Joshua
Are you lost or found?

Promise me you're happy
Promise me you're whole
Hey, Joshua
Can we ever heal our souls?

Promise me you're happy
Promise me you're whole
Hey, Joshua
Can we ever heal our souls?

Promise me you're happy
Promise me you're whole
Hey, Joshua
Can we ever heal our souls?

Promise me you're happy
Promise me you're whole
Hey, Joshua
Will we ever heal our souls?

Do you ever think of me?
Do you think of what could be?
