Joseph's coat annoyed his brothers |
|
[Brothers] |
|
But what makes us mad |
|
Are the things that Joseph tells us of the dreams he's often had |
|
[Joseph] |
|
I dreamed that in the fields one day, the corn gave me 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 |
|
[Brothers] |
|
"Small?!" (protesting) |
|
This is not the kind of thing we brothers like to hear |
|
It seems to us that Joseph and his dreams should disappear |
|
[Joseph] |
|
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 |
|
[Brothers] |
|
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 (dreamer), the dreamer (dreamer), |
|
the dreamer (dreamer), the dreamer (dreamer), |
|
the dreamer, dreamer, dreamer, dreamer, |
|
dreamer has to go! |
