Springfield-Bissonette

Joshua, life is looking at you
Come as you are, it’s a room with a view
Time to stand up'n not an innuendo
Let the world in, open up your window
Joshua, I know your spirit is true

Your destiny is calling
It’s no time to be shy

You can fly, do or die
Let me hear your battle cry
Stand your ground
You can make this all go shake

Touch the sky, touch the fire
Open up your tiger’s eye
You can turn this thing around
Make no mistake, this is your battleground

Joshua, I was there from day one
I know what you are
You’re no prodigal son
You've never been one for the false bravado
Or left me shunned, incommunicado
Joshua, you’re the power of one

I know from where you stand
It seems impossible to shine

You can fly, do or die
Let me hear your battle cry
Dragonfly
The winds can make the oceans quake

Touch the sky, dream of fire
Look into your tiger’s eye
You can turn this thing around
Make no mistake, this is your battleground

[?] standing on your own

Joshua, you were born for this chance
Joshua, face the music and dance

You can fly, do or die
Let me hear your battle cry
Stand your ground
You can make this all go shake

Touch the fire, live or die
Open up your tiger’s eye
You can turn this thing around
Make no mistake, this is your battleground
