joseph trusted mary and joseph trusted god
unto the house of david born but that is not my son
joseph trusted jesus as he fled from herod’s gun
unto the house of david born but that is not my son
no that is not my son
joseph heard the angel say this is not your life
who employs the carpenter is who employs the knife
who pours from the vessel? who implores your wife?
blessed sang the angel your house was prophesized
good kings in your blood lines are fosters to the child
no this is not your child
joseph went to mary and laid down a stubborn pain
if i’m able make me abel if i can’t then make me cain
but fix me on the sparrow in a wash of summer rain
then he led them towards a pharaoh all aboard a south bound train
all aboard a south bound train
