Some folks dream
of the wonders they'll do
Before their time on
this planet is through
Some just don't
have anything planned
They hide their hopes
and their heads in the sand
Now I don't say
who is wrong, who is right
But if by chance you
are here for the night
Then all I need is an hour or two
To tell the tale of the dreamer like you
We all dream a lot
some are lucky, some are not
But if you think it, want it, dream it
then its real, you are what you feel
But all that I say
can be told another way
In the story of a boy who's dream came true
And it could be you
I closed my eyes
drew back the curtain
to see for certain
what I thought I knew
Far, far away
someone was weeping
but the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
I wore my coat
(I wore my coat)
with golden lining, bright colors shining
wonderful and new
And in the east
(and in the east)
the dawn was breaking
and the world was waking
Any dream will do
A crash of drums, a flash of lights
my golden coat flew out of sight
The colors faded into darkness
I was left alone
May I return
to the beginning?
the light is dimming
and the dream is too
The world and I
(the world and I)
We are still waiting
still hesitating, any dream will do
Any dream, any dream will
Any dream
Any dream will do
Any dream will do
Way way back many centuries ago
not long after the Bible began
Jacob lived in the land of Canaan
a fine example of a family man
Jacob, Jacob and sons
depended on farming to earn their keep
Jacob, Jacob and sons
spent all of their days in the fields with sheep
Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation
Thanks to the number of children he'd had
He was also known as Israel but most of the time
His sons and his wives used to call him dad
Jacob, Jacob and sons
men of the soil, of the sheaf, and crook
Jacob, Jacob and sons
a remarkable family in anyone's book
Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel
With Simeon and Levi the next in line
Napthali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan
Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Joseph, Jacob's favorite son
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob, Jacob -- Jacob and sons
Joseph's mother, she was quite my favorite wife
I never really loved another all my life
And Joseph was my joy because
He reminded me of her
Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again
Loved him, praised him, gave him all he could
but then it made the rest feel second best
And even if they were
Being told were also-rans
Does not make us Joseph fans
But where they have really missed the boat is
We're great guys but no-one seems to notice
Joseph's charm and winning smiles
Fail to slay them in the aisles
And their father couldn't see the danger
He could not imagine any danger
He just saw in Joseph all his dreams come true
Jacob wanted to show the world he loved his son
To make it clear that Joseph was the special one
So Jacob bought his son a coat
A multi-colored coat to wear
Joseph's coat was elegant, the cut was fine
The tasteful style was the ultimate in good design
And this is why it caught the eye
A king would stop and stare
And when Joseph tried it on
He knew his sheepskin days were gone
Such a dazzling coat of many colors
How he loved his coat of many colors
In a class above the rest
It even went well with his vest
Such a stunning coat of many colors
How he loved his coat of many colors
It was red and yellow and green and brown and blue
Joseph's brothers weren't too pleased
with what they saw
We had never liked him all that much before
And now this coat Has got our goat
We feel life is unfair
And when Joseph graced the scene
His brothers turned a shade of green
His astounding clothing took the biscuit
Quite the smoothest person in the district
I look handsome, I look smart
I am a walking work of art
Such a dazzling coat of many colors
How I love my coat of many colors
It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ocher and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
I look handsome, I look smart
(And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve)
I am a walking work of art
(And cream and crimson and silver and rose )
Such a dazzling coat of many colors
(And azure and lemon and russet and grey)
How I love my coat of many colors
(And purple and white and pink and orange)
It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ocher and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And blue!!!
Joseph's coat annoyed his brothers
But what makes us mad
Are the things that Joseph tells us
of the dreams he's often had
I dreamed that in the fields one day
the corn gave my a sign
Your eleven sheaves of corn
all turned and bowed to mine
My sheaf was quite a sight to see
a golden sheaf and tall
Yours were green, and second-rate
and really rather small
This is not the kind of thing
we brothers like to hear
It seems to us that Joseph and his dreams
should disappear
I dreamed I saw eleven stars
the sun the moon and sky
Bowing down before my star,
it made me wonder why
Could it be that I was born
for higher things than you?
A post in someone's government,
a ministry, or two?
The dreams of our dear brother
are the decade's biggest yawn
His talk of stars and golden sheaves
is just a load of corn
Not only is he tactless but he's also rather dim
For there's eleven of us and
there's only one of him
The dreams of course will not come true
That is, we think they won't come true
That is, we hope they won't come true
What if he's right all along?
What if he's right all along?
The dreams are more than crystal clear
the writing on the wall
Means that Joseph some day
soon will rise above us all
The accuracy of the dreams
we brothers do not know
But one thing we are sure about,
the dreamer
the dreamer...
the dreamer has to go!
Next day, far from home
the brothers planned the repulsive crime
Let us grab him now, do him in,
while we've got the time
Hi guys!
This they did and made the most of it
Tore his coat and flung him in a pit
Let us leave him here, all alone,
and he's bound to die
When some Ishmaelites, a hairy crew,
came riding by
In a flash the brothers changed their plan
We need cash! Let's sell him if we can
Poor poor Joseph, what'cha gonna do?
Things look bad for you, hey,
what'cha gonna do?
Poor poor Joseph, what'cha gonna do?
Things look bad for you, hey,
what'cha gonna do?
Could you use a slave, you hairy
bunch of Ishmaelites?
Young, strong, well-behaved, going cheap
and he reads and writes
In a trice the dirty deal was done
Silver coins for Jacob's favorite son
Then the Ishmaelites galloped
off with a slave in tow
Off to Egypt where Joseph
was not too keen to go
It wouldn't be a picnic he could tell
And I don't speak Egyptian very well
Joseph's brothers tore his precious
multi-colored coat
Having ripped it up, next they
attacked a passing goat
Soon the wretched creature was no more
They dipped his coat in blood and guts and gore
Oh now brothers, how low can you stoop?
You make a sordid group, hey,
how low can you stoop?
Poor poor Joseph, sold to be a slave
Situation's grave, hey, sold to be a slave
Father, we've something to tell you
a story of our time
a tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime
You know you had a dozen sons
well now that's not quite true
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve
he would not want you to
you see, there's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph we'll never forget you
It's tough but we're gonna get by
There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
But Joseph the things that you stood for
Like love and peace never die
When I think of his last great battle
A lump comes to my throat
It takes a man who knows not fear
To wrestle with a goat
his blood stained coat is tribute to
his final sacrifice
his body may be past it's peak
but his souls in paradise
So long little Joe
Adios Buckaroo
10-4 good buddy
There's one last place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
But Joseph the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never die
Carve his name with pride and courage
Let no tear be shed
if he had not laid down his life
we all would now be dead
There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never die
There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never die
There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph the things that you stood for
Like truth and light never ...
There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Father, that things he stood for
Like democracy never ...
...die!
Joseph was taken to Egypt in chains and sold
Where he was bought by a captain named Potipher
Potiphar had very few cares
He was one of Egypt's millionaires
Having made a fortune
buying shares, in
pyramids
Potiphar had made a huge pile
Owned a large percentage of the Nile
Meant that I could really live in style
and he did
Oh, I did
Joseph was an unimportant slave
who found he liked his master
Consequently worked much harder,
even with devotion
Potiphar could see that Joseph
was a cut above the average
Made him leader of the house,
a maximum promotion
Potiphar was cool and so fine
But his wife would never toe the line
It's all there in chapter thirty-nine Of Genesis
She was beautiful but evil
Saw a lot of men against his will
He would have to tell her
that she still was his
Your mine!
Joseph's looks and handsome figure
had attracted her attention
Every morning she would beckon
Come and lie with me love
Joesph wanted to resist her
till one day she proved too eager
Joseph cried in vain,
Please stop! I don't believe in free love!
pity...
Potiphar was counting shekels
in his den below the bedroom
When he heard a mighty rumpus
clattering above him
Suddenly he knew his riches couldn't
buy him what he wanted
Gold would never make him happy,
if she didn't love him
Letting out a mighty roar
Potiphar burst through the door
Joseph, I'll see you rot in jail!
The things you have done are beyond the pale!
Poor poor Joseph, locked up in a cell
Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell
Poor poor Joseph, locked up in a cell
Things ain't going well, hey, locked up in a cell
locked up in a cell
Close every door to me
hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me
hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night
If my life were important
I would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me
keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find my
own peace of mind
For I have been promised
a land of my own
Close every door to me
hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Just give me a number instead of my name
Forget all about me and let me decay
I do not matter, I'm only one person
Destroy me completely then throw me away
If my life were important
I would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me
keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For we know we shall find our
own peace of mind
For we have been promised a land of our own
Joseph's luck was really out
his spirits and his fortune low
Alone he sat
alone he thought of happy
times he used to know
Hey dreamer! Don't be so upset.
Hey Joseph! You're not beaten yet.
Go Go Go Joseph you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day
Don't give up Joseph fight till you drop
We've read the book and
you come out on top
The prison walls were wet and black
his chains were heavy, weighed him down
the candle was his only light
the hungry rats the only sound
Hey dreamer! Don't be so upset
Hey Joseph! You're not beaten yet
Go Go Go Joseph you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day
don't just up Joseph
wait and you'll see
we've been outside and your on the marquee
Now into Joseph's prison cell were
flung two very frightened men
We don't think that we will ever
see the light of day again
Hey Joseph! Help us if you can
We've had dreams that we don't understand
Both men were servants of Pharaoh the king
Both in the doghouse for doing their thing
One was a baker, a cook in his prime
One was a butler, the Jeeves of his time
Tell me of your dreams my friends
and I will tell you what they show
Though I cannot guarantee to get it right,
I'll have a go
First the butler, trembling, took the floor
Nervously he spoke of what he saw
There I was standing in front of a vine
I picked some grapes and I
crushed them to wine
I gave them to Pharaoh who
drank from my cup
I tried to interpret but I had to give up
You will soon be free, my friend
so do not worry any more
The king will let you out of here
you'll "buttle" as you did before
Next the baker rose to tell his dream
Hoping it would have a similar theme
There I was standing with baskets of bread
High in the sky I saw birds overhead
Who flew to the baskets
and ate every slice
Give me the message -
- like his would be nice
Sad to say your dream is not the
kind of dream I'd like to get
Pharaoh has it in for you,
your execution date is set
Don't rely on all I say I saw
It's just that I have not
been wrong before
Go, go, go Joe
Go, go, go Joe
Go, go, go Joe
Go, go, go Joe
Go Go Go Joseph you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day
Sha la la Joseph, you're still in your prime
You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time
Go Go Go Joseph you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day
Sha la la Joseph, you're still in your prime
You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time
Go Go Go Joseph you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day
Sha la la Joseph, you're still in your prime
You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time
Go Go Go Joseph you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph you'll make it some day
Sha la la Joseph, you're still in your prime
You and your dreamcoat ahead of your time
Ahead of your time
Ahead of my time
Ahead of your time
Ahead of my time
Ahead of your time
Ahead of my time
Ahead of your time
Ahead of my time
Ahead of your time
Ahead of my time
Ahead of your time
Ahead of your...
Time!!!
Pharaoh, he was a powerful man
With the ancient world in the palm of his hand
To all intents and purposes he
Was Egypt with a capital "E"
Whatever he did
He was showered with praise
If he cracked a joke
Then you chortled for days
No one had rights or a
Vote but the king
In fact you might say
He was fairly right-wing
When Pharaoh's around
Then you get down on the ground
If you ever find yourself near Ramses
Get down on your knees
A Pharaoh's story...
Down at the other
End of the scale
Joseph is still
Doing time in jail
For even though he is
in with the guards
A lifetime in prison seems
quite on the cards
But if my analysis of
The position is right
At the end of the tunnel
There's a glimmer of light
For all of a sudden
Indescribable things
Have shattered the sleep of
both peasants and kings
Strange as it seems, there's
been a run of crazy dreams
And a man who can interpret could go far
could become a star
Could be famous, could
be a big success
Could be famous, could
be a big success
Strange as it seems, there's
been a run of crazy dreams
And a man who can
interpret could go far
could become a star
Could be famous, could
be a big success
Could be famous, could
be a big success
there's been a run of crazy dreams
And a man who can
interpret could go far
could become a star
Could be a star!
Guess what? In his bed Pharaoh
had an uneasy night
He had had a dream that pinned
him to his sheets with fright
No one knew the meaning of the dream
What to do?
Whatever could it mean?
Then his butler said
I know of a bloke in jail
Who is hot on dreams
could explain old Pharaoh's tale
Pharaoh said
Well fetch this Joseph man
I need him to help
me if he can
Poor poor Pharaoh,
what'cha gonna do?
Dreams are haunting you,
hey, what'cha gonna do?
Chained and bound, afraid, alone
Joseph stood before the throne
My service to Pharaoh has begun
Tell me your problems,
mighty one!
PHARAOH IS IN THE BUILDING!
Well I was wandering
along by the banks
of the river when seven fat
cows came out of the Nile
Uh huh huh
Bop she wa da wa bop bop she wa da wa
And right behind them
these fine healthy animals
came seven other cows,
that were skinny and vile
Uh huh huh
Bop she wa da wa bop bop she wa da wa
and then the thin cows ate
the fat cows
which I thought would do them good
Uh huh huh
Bop She Wady wa Bop Bop She wady wa
But it didn't make
them fatter like
I thought a monster
supper should
Oh no oh
Because the thin cows were
thin as they had ever, ever ever been
Well this dream has got me baffled
hey Joseph, what it means?
A now you know that
kings ain't stupid
But, I don't have a clue
a don't you be cruel Joseph
help me now I beg of you
I was standing doing nothing
in a field out of town
When I saw seven beautiful ears of corn
Uh huh huh
They were ripe, they were golden
but you guessed it right behind
there were seven other ears
that were tattered and torn
Uh huh huh
Then the bad corn
ate the good corn
man they came up
from behind yes they did
But Joseph here's
the punchline
It's gonna blow your mind
flip your lid
Because the bad ones was
as bad as it had ever
ever ever been
Well, this dream has
got me all shook up
treat me nice and tell
me what it means
Well, I understand the bit about the corn
but I'm not quiet sure about the cows
so I was wondering if you can give it to me
one more time
Mr. Pharaoh man
Please?
Let me show you how we
Rock and Roll in Egypt
I was standing doing nothing
in a field out of town
When I saw seven beautiful
ears of corn
Uh huh huh
Oh yeah
They were ripe they were golden
but you guessed it right behind
there were seven other ears
that were tattered and torn
Uh huh huh
And then the bad corn ate the good corn
man they came up from
behind yes they did
but Joseph here's the punchline
it's gonna blow your mind
this is gonna flip your lid!
because the bad ones were as bad
as it had ever, ever ever ever been
Well, this dream has got
me all shook up
treat me nice, tell
me what it means
Hey!
Hey!
Hey, hey, hey Joseph
won't you tell poor old Pharaoh
what does this crazy
crazy, crazy
crazy dream mean?
OH YEAH!!!
Seven years of bumper
crops are on their way
Years of plenty, endless
wheat and tons of hay
Your farms will boom,
there won't be room
To store the surplus
food you grow
After that, the future
doesn't look so bright
Egypt's luck will change
completely overnight
And famine's hand
will stalk the land
With food an all time low. Noble king,
there is no doubt
What your dream are all about
All these things you
saw in your pajamas
Are a long range
forecast for your farmers
And I'm sure it's
crossed your mind
What it is you have to find
Find a man to lead
you through the famine
With a flair for
economic planning
But who this man could
be I just don't know
who this man could
be I just don't know
who this man could
be I just don't know
who this man could
be I just don't know
who this man could
be I just don't know
Joe!
Pharaoh said
"Well stone the crows,
this Joseph is a clever kid
Who'd have thought
that fourteen cows
could mean the things
he said they did?
Joseph, you must
help me further
I have found a job for you
You shall lead us
through this crisis
You shall be
my number two"
Pharaoh told his guards to fetch
a chisel from the local store
Whereupon he ordered them
to cut the chains that Joseph wore
Joseph got a royal pardon and
a host of splendid things
A chariot of gold, a cloak
a medal and some signet rings.
Joseph!
Pharaoh's number two
Joseph!
Egypt looks to you
Joseph!
Pharaoh's number two
Joseph! Egypt looks to you
Jo--seph!
Seven summers on the trot were
perfect just as Joseph said
Joseph saw that food was gathered
ready for the years ahead.
Seven years of famine followed
Egypt did not mind a bit. The first
recorded rationing in history was a hit
Joseph how can we ever say
All that we want to about you?
We're so glad that you came our way
We should have perished without you
Hey! Joseph we are the perfect team
Old buddies now that's you and me
I was wise to have chosen you
You'll be wise to agree
Joseph how can we ever say
All that we want to about you?
We're so glad that you
came our way.
We should have perished without you
Hey! We were in a jam
Would have baffled Abraham
But now we're a partnership
it's just a piece of cake
Greatest man since Noah
Only goes to show-ah
Anyone from anywhere can
make it if they get a lucky break!
This could be the happy ending
perfect place to stop the show
Joseph after all has got about
as far as he can go
But I'm sure that Jacob
and his other sons
have crossed your mind
How had famine hit the
family Joseph left behind?
Do you remember the
good years in Canaan?
The summers were endlessly gold
The fields were a patchwork of clover
The winters were never too cold
We'd stroll down the
boulevard together
And everything was simply divine
Now the fields are dead and bare
No joie de vivre anywhere
Et maintenant we drink a bitter wine
Those Canaan days we used to know
Where have they gone?
Where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days
Do you remember those
wonderful parties?
The splendor of Canaan's cuisine
Those extravagant elegant soirees
The gayest the Bible has seen
It's funny but since we lost Joseph
We've gone to the other extreme
No one comes to dinner now
We'd only eat them anyhow
I even find I'm missing
Joseph's dreams
Those Canaan days
we used to know
Where have they gone?
Where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days
Those Canaan days
we used to know
Where have they gone?
Where did they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days
It's funny,
but since we lost, Joseph
We've gone to the other, extreme
Perhaps we all misjudged the lad
Perhaps he wasn't, quite that bad
And how we miss
his, entertaining, dreams
Those Canaan days
we used to know
Where have they gone?
Where did...
...did... they go?
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan... days
Eh bien, raise your berets
To those Canaan days
So, back in Canaan the
future looked rough
Jacob's family were finding it tough
For the famine has
caught us unprepared
We are thin, we are ill,
we are getting scared
It's enough to make anyone weep
We are down to
our very last sheep
We will starve if
we hang around here
But in Egypt there's
food going spare
They've got corn,
they've got meat
they've got fruit and drinks
And if we have the time
we could see the Sphinx
So they finally decided to go
Off to Egypt to see brother Joe
So they all lay before Joseph's feet
Mighty prince,
give us something to eat!
Joseph found it a
strain not to laugh because
Not brother among them
knew who he was
I shall now take
them all for a ride
After all they have
tried fratricide
I dreamed that in the fields one
day at corn give me a sign
Your eleven sheaves of corn
all turned and bowed to mine
I dreamed I saw eleven stars
the sun the moon and sky
Bowing down before my star
and now I realize why
How do I know
where you come from?
You could be spies
telling me that you are hungry
That could be lies
How do I know
who you are?
Why do you think
I should help you?
Would you help me?
Why on earth should
I believe you?
I've no guarantee
Grovel, grovel, cringe,
bow, stoop, fall
Worship, worship, beg,
kneel, sponge, crawl
Grovel, grovel, cringe,
bow, stoop, fall
Worship, worship, beg,
kneel, sponge, crawl
We are just eleven brothers
good men and true
Though we know we
count for nothing
when up next to you
Honesty's our middle name
Life is slowly ebbing from us
hope's almost gone
It's getting very hard to see
us from sideways on.
Grovel, grovel, cringe,
bow, stoop, fall
Worship, worship, beg,
kneel, sponge, crawl
I rather like the
way you're talking
astute and sincere
Suddenly your tragic story
gets me right here
This is what we
hoped you'd say!
All this tugging at
my heartstrings
seems quite justified
I shall give you what
you came for
a lot more beside
Joseph handed them
sackloads of food
And they groveled
with base gratitude
Then, unseen, Joseph
nipped out around the back
And planted a cup in
young Benjamin's sack
When the brothers
were ready to go
Joseph turned to them all
with a terrible stare and said
No!
Stop! You robbers
your little number's up!
One of you has stolen my
precious golden cup!
Joseph started searching
through his brothers' sacks
Everyone was nervous,
no one could relax
Who's the thief?
Is it Reuben?
No!
Is it Simeon?
No!
Is it Napthali?
No!
Is it Dan?
No!
Is it Asher?
No!
Is it Isaachar?
No!
Is it Levi?
No!
Who's the man?
Is it Zebulun?
No!
Is it Gad?
No!
Is it Judah?
No!
Is it him?
could it be?
could it possibly be
Benjamin?
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Benjamin, you nasty youth
your crime has shocked
me to the core!
Never in my whole career have
I encountered this before!
Guards, seize him!
Lock him in a cell!
Throw the keys into
the Nile as well!
Each of the brothers
fell to his knees
Show him some mercy
oh mighty one please!
He would not do this
he must have been framed!
Jail us and beat us
we should be blamed
Oh no, not he
How you can accuse
him is a mystery
Save him,
take me
Benjamin is straighter
than the tall palm tree
I hear the steel drums
sing their song
They singing man you know
you got it wrong
I hear the voice of the yellow bird
Singing in the tree
this is quite absurd
Oh yes, it's true
Benjamin is straighter
than the big bamboo
No ifs, no buts
Benjamin is honest
as coconuts
Sure as the tide
wash the golden sand
Benjamin is an
innocent man
Sure as bananas
need the sun
We are the
criminal guilty ones
Oh no, not he
How you can
accuse him is a mystery
Save him, take me
Benjamin is straighter
than the tall palm tree
Oh no, not he
How you can accuse
him is a mystery
Save him, take me
Benjamin is straighter
than the tall palm tree
Sure as the tide wash the
golden sand
Benjamin is an innocent man
Sure as bananas
need the sun
We are the
criminal guilty ones
Oh no, not he
How you can accuse
him is a mystery
Save him, take me
Benjamin is straighter
than the tall palm tree
Oh no, not he
How you can accuse
him is a mystery
Save him, take me
Benjamin is straighter
than the tall palm tree
Each of the brothers
fell to his knees
Show him some mercy
oh mighty one please!
He would not do this
he must have been framed!
Jail us and beat us
we should be blamed
And Joseph knew by this
his brothers now were
honest men
The time had
come at last
to reunite
them all again
Can't you recognize
my face?
Is it hard to see?
That Joseph,
who you thought was dead
your brother, is me
Joseph! Joseph!
Is it really true?
Joseph! Joseph!
Is it really you?
Joseph! Joseph!
So Jacob came to Egypt
no longer feeling old
And Joseph went to meet him
in his chariot of gold
of gold!
of gold!
of gold!
I closed my eyes
drew back the curtain
to see for certain
what I thought I knew
Far far away
someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping
Any dream will do
I wore my coat
with golden lining
Bright colors shining
wonderful and new
And in the east
the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking
Any dream will do
A crash of drums,
a flash of lights
My golden coat
flew out of sight
The colors faded
into darkness
I was left alone
May I return
to the beginning
The light is dimming
and the dream is too
The world and I
we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
May I return
to the beginning
The light is dimming
and the dream is too
The world and I
we are still waiting
Still hesitating
Any dream will do
Give me my colored coat
my amazing colored coat!
Give me my colored coat
my amazing colored coat!
