lyrics
Josiah was a chosen one/ A whole generation sang one song/ Then he crossed the plains into the wild/ Passed that legacy on to a child/ But the boy was a reckless one/ He said, I’m not hurting anyone/ Then handed down to me his loaded gun and that spirit of rebellion
Justice is comin’ and it won’t be watered down/ Don’t underestimate flame thrown to the ground/ Justice is comin’, one thing haunting me/ You, my son, are a branch of the tree

Justice is comin’ and it won’t be watered down/ Don’t underestimate flame thrown to the ground/ Justice is comin’, one thing haunting me/ You, my son, are a branch of the tree
Justice is comin’, justice is comin’ justice is comin’, hey, hey, hey/ Justice is comin’, justice is comin’, justice is comin, justice is comin’
Justice is comin’ and it won’t be watered down/ Don’t underestimate flame thrown to the ground/ Justice is comin’, one thing haunting me/ You, my son, are a…
You, my son, are a branch of the tree
