Yeah,
Joshua
Mwewa
Nine
years
standing
tall
Refractory
master
Let
the
wind
blow,
we
remain
Years
pass
by
like
winds
on
trees
Shaking
the
leaves,
bringing
me
to
my
knees
They
come
with
a
whistle,
they
come
with
a
sound
Bending
the
branches
right
down
to
the
ground
I’
ve
been
in
the
fire,
I’
ve
been
in
the
heat
Where
the
dust
settles
heavy
on
the
soles
of
my
feet
Nine
years
of
shutdowns,
the
deadline
is
tight
Working
through
the
shadows
in
the
dead
of
the
night
But
I’
m
standing,
yeah,
I’
m
standing
strong
Like
a
mighty
cedar
where
I
belong
Every
wind
that
passed,
it
left
a
mark
on
my
soul
Every
bit
of
pressure
making
me
whole
Nine
rings
of
experience,
deep
in
the
grain
I’
ve
learned
how
to
dance
in
the
thick
of
the
rain
No
storm
can
move
me,
I’
m
rooted
in
the
earth
Giving
my
labor
a
brand
new
worth
Some
winds
are
quiet,
they
just
rustle
the
leaves
Some
bring
the
tempests
that
a
worker
believes
But
I
look
in
the
mirror,
see
the
man
that
I
grew
Through
the
refractory,
the
old
and
the
new
The
heat
of
the
furnace,
the
grit
in
the
eyes
It’
s
the
price
of
the
wisdom
that
the
struggle
supplies
Class
A
professional,
I
master
the
craft
Building
the
future
while
the
critics
just
laughed
But
I’
m
standing,
yeah,
I’
m
standing
strong
Like
a
mighty
cedar
where
I
belong
Every
wind
that
passed,
it
left
a
mark
on
my
soul
Every
bit
of
pressure
making
me
whole
Nine
rings
of
experience,
deep
in
the
grain
I’
ve
learned
how
to
dance
in
the
thick
of
the
rain
No
storm
can
move
me,
I’
m
rooted
in
the
earth
Giving
my
labor
a
brand
new
worth
They
come
and
they
go,
the
seasons
turn
There’
s
so
much
more
that
a
worker
can
learn
But
look
at
the
height,
look
at
the
spread
With
all
of
the
glory
and
no
room
for
dread
Joshua,
remember
the
path
that
you
tread
With
fire
in
the
heart
and
the
cool
in
the
head
So
keep
on
building,
keep
on
the
climb
Nine
years
of
glory,
one
day
at
a
time
You’
re
taller,
you’
re
scarred,
you’
re
weathered
and
wise
Look
at
the
horizon
with
clear
open
eyes
The
wind
is
a
teacher,
the
storm
is
a
guide
With
nothing
to
fear
and
with
nothing
to
hide
You’
re
the
tree
that
is
standing,
the
pride
of
the
land
With
the
heat
of
the
refractory
held
in
your
hand
But
I’
m
standing,
yeah,
I’
m
standing
strong
Like
a
mighty
cedar
where
I
belong
Every
wind
that
passed,
it
left
a
mark
on
my
soul
Every
bit
of
pressure
making
me
whole
Nine
rings
of
experience,
deep
in
the
grain
I’
ve
learned
how
to
dance
in
the
thick
of
the
rain
No
storm
can
move
me,
I’
m
rooted
in
the
earth
Giving
my
labor
a
brand
new
worth
Nine
rings,
Joshua
Yeah,
you’
re
stronger
now
Let
the
wind
blow
Class
A,
still
standing
Stronger
than
the
day
I
started
Yeah,
bless
up (
