Joe A never complained
And Joe A was never afraid
Even though he lost his sight on the mountain that day

Well he gave up what he didn't need
Just the bare necessities
And nobody could ever say that he wasn't free

Joe I'm coming after
I think I hear your laughter
Joe don't give up on the world
I traveled through 12 countries
And Joe to put it bluntly
It's absurd, but I'm a man of my word

Joe A couldn't replace
The desire for human embrace
But the abundance of personal space
Well damn that was great

And we all must adapt to the ways
And the rules that society makes
But in these moments all I can see
Is his face

I think I hear your laughter
Joe don't give up on the world
I traveled through 12 countries
And Joe to put it bluntly
What I've learned is friendship has to be earned
