[Joseph] 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 [Joseph & Children] I wore my coat, with golden lining Bright colours shining, wonderful and new And in the east, the dawn was breaking And the world was waking Any dream will do [Joseph] A crash of drums, a flash of light My golden coat flew out of sight The colours faded into darkness I was left alone [Joseph & Children] 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 Joseph A crash of drums, a flash of light My golden coat flew out of sight The colours faded into darkness I was left alone [Joseph & Children] 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
