There is nothing I’ve ever done
I didn’t learn to be ashamed of.
No hope or no dream I won’t curse and demean.
If that’s what it takes, that’s what I’ll do.
If that’s what it takes, I will.

And I hope I never get my fill
pushing this boulder up on this hill,
when we get to the top we’ll be taking a spill.
Every time’s like the first time.
Every time is the same.

And you don’t believe me now
But you will.

Now until you hang upon such a cross,
you won’t know a thing about laughter or loss.
And from Galilee to Gethsemane
to Golgotha is a short, short walk.

notes:
Joset is named in the book of Mark (as in, the Bible) as the son of Mary. Whether or not it’s the same Mary as Jesus’ mother is up for debate, but if he is, that’d make him Jesus’ brother. Interpret the title as you see fit.
Also, Galilee is the part of Israel that Nazareth is in where Jesus lived, Gethsemane is where Jesus prayed the night before he was crucified, and Gol’gotha is where the actual crucifixion happened.
