The Dreamer - The Statler Brothers

Well, Joseph had the faith and he could see

He could see into the future, interpret dreams and predict world crisis

Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt and rose from prisinor to royalty

Because of his special talent, a talent God gave him

And God made all his dreams come true

Joseph had a coat of many colors

Joseph had a closet full of dreams

That told how he would one day rule his brothers

And tore his life apart right at the seams

'Cause Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery

And sent him on his way to Egypt land

And the day the dreamer started out for Egypt

The nightmare of Israel began

The dreamer made his bed in Pharaoh’s kingdom

But his master’s woman layed for him

It seems she had her own dreams for the dreamer

And sent him up when he would not give in

But Pharaoh got word about the dreamer

'Cause Pharaoh took to dreamin' on his own

Pharaoh took a likin' to the dreamer

Set him free and called him to the throne

The dreams that he interpreted for Pharoah

Told about the famine yet to come

He rationed out the food to Pharaoh’s kingdom

So there’d be enough for everyone

The dreamer sent a message to his father

Said, «I'm alive and well in Egypt land»

Said he’d made a place for them beside him

For them to come and share his dreams with him

Joseph had a coat of many colors

Joseph had a purpose to pursue

Joseph had forgiveness for his brothers

The dreamer had a dream and it came true

Yeah, Joseph had a dream and it came true
