[G] Well, at eight years old, my life suddenly changed.
On my way home from school, I saw a blind man trying to cross the street, and I let him across.
He asked me my name.
I told him it was Joshua.
His name was big, blind, and jockeyingly armored.
So he sang me a song called Joshua for the Battle of Jericho, and wanted me to lead him after school.
I said, I'll lead you down to the house and ask Mama.
He asked my mother, and she said, I have to pray over him.
To get the answer from the man upstairs, she did, so a few days later, it was yes.
So I got the job, [E] making $4 a week, which was the second home of my mother.
In those days, that was like a fortune.
[B] I left Greenville, South Carolina, went from [E] city to city, heading south.

And all day long, Mr.
Arnold would sing, and I would be [E] the tambourine, beg, or collect [N] money.
