JOSEPH

Sunlight creeping through the living room blinds

Those early morning hours are burned in my mind

Just you and me, waking up with the sun

Watching basketball games before the day had begun

I cherish the years that I spent raising you

A good-hearted boy, shining so true

Joseph, there’s a state line between us now

But love bridges the distance, no matter how

Ever since the separation, we've been living apart

But you never spent a second outside of my heart

Yeah, the miles on the highway don't change a thing

You're my beautiful son, and the joy that you bring

I know that the changes weren't easy to take

But I'd cross any border just for your sake

You're such a good child, with a spirit so bright

Even states away, you're my guiding light

I look back on the memories, the laughter and tears

And I'll carry them with me for the rest of my years

Joseph, there’s a state line between us now

But love bridges the distance, no matter how

Ever since the separation, we've been living apart

But you never spent a second outside of my heart

Yeah, the miles on the highway don't change a thing

You're my beautiful son, and the joy that you bring

And when the world gets heavy and you feel alone

Remember the greatest truth you've ever known

Isaiah forty-one, verse ten will see you through

Do not be dismayed, for your God is with you

He will strengthen your soul and help you stand

And uphold you with His righteous right hand

Oh, Joseph, there’s a state line between us now

But love bridges the distance, no matter how

Ever since the separation, we've been living apart

But you never spent a second outside of my heart

Yeah, the miles on the highway don't change a thing

You're always in my heart, Joseph, my everything
