Joseph, Better You Than Me

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
Is the touchstone forcing you to hide  Joseph
Are the rumors eating you alive  Joseph
When the holy night is upon you
Will you do what's right  the position is yours
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
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
With the plane and the lathe  the work never drove you mad
You're a maker  a creator  not just somebody's dad
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
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
All the years since you left gave you time to sit back and reflect
Better you than me  better you than me
Better you than me  yes
When the holy night is upon you
Better you  better you
Do you see both sides  Do they shove you around
Better you than me  Joseph
Better than you than me  better you than me
Joseph  Joseph  Joseph  Joseph
Than me  better you than me
Better you  better you  better you than me
Well  your eyes just haven't been the same  Joseph
