[00:21]Joseph, he left in the first light of morning
[00:26]The boatman was waiting, the tide was turning
[00:31]And he stood for a moment as if to say
[00:35]I will see you in passing
[00:40]The wind took the sails and he floated away
[00:45]Like so much driftwood washed out of the bay
[00:50]And he sailed to the island
[00:52]Where the sand meets the sky and he breathed again
[01:10]There was something about the sand and the sea
[01:14]How it all comes together, how it's all meant to be
[01:20]For water is life and sand measures time for the healing
[01:29]They say he found Jesus, but that's really not true
[01:34]It's just an excuse for the blind and confused
[01:40]For he searched for beauty and freedom from pain
[01:44]And he made himself well
[01:49]Joseph, we waited for you
[01:54]We waited and hoped you'd come through
[01:59]We looked to the mail boat to bring us a word
[02:03]But the sound of the seagull was all that we heard
[02:27]Now he walks like a dancer and measures his space
[02:33]So strong in his movement and easy with grace
[02:38]And he carries his body like one who has seen
[02:43]The hope of an answer
[02:48]And way in the distance the island is there
[02:51]Which shifts in the sunlight and floats in the air
[02:57]A haven for dreamers and lovers who lost
[03:02]And people like Joseph
[03:07]Joseph, we waited for you
[03:11]We waited and hoped you'd come through
[03:16]We looked to the mail boat to bring us a word
[03:21]But the sound of the seagull was all that we heard
