There was a boy who had a dream A dozen brothers binding sheaves Were quick to say with jealousy Do you see yourself a king? And when the sun and stars bowed down He went to tell his father proud The last of twelve, it cannot be He said, what's this all have to do with me? Out in the fields, the brothers roam The youngest comes to see them home And from afar, so said the schemer Look ahead, here comes the dreamer! They through him down into the earth The eldest brother saw his worth No, we must not take his life And so they sold him into the hands of The passing traders' caravan To serve the home, Egyptian grandeur A foreign lord in a foreign land And though he made his master proud He stood his ground, and it all came down And by the guilt of one false claim Was cast in chains and locked away And from the cell he gained his name The pharaoh dreamt of cows and grain And when the sages failed to see The dreamer told him destiny For two rounds of seven years The first of joy, the last of fear So choose a wise, discerning leader The pharaoh said, what should I do If by your word, these claims are true? If God has made this known to you What better man to see us through? So you'll take charge of all my land My ring, my robes, my right hand man With all of mine at your command You'll save us by the dreamer's plan And when the famine settled in His brothers came and bowed to him Although they did not recognize him He said, If you are honest men Return to me with Benjamin The father took the news with grief He put them through the final test But could not make it through the rest Have everyone withdraw from me! He cried out to his family It's I, the one you sold away Come closer now, don't be afraid Cause it all happened for a reason To save us from this famine season I love you all, go on your way And tell my father I'm okay The father's spirit came to life I'll see my son before I die! The pharaoh heard the pleasant news My nation's best belong to you So Jacob traveled, full of love And praised the Father up above
