Joseph - Joseph's Dreams lyrics

rate me

(Narrator)<br />

Joseph's coat annoyed his brothers<br />

<br />

(Brothers)<br />

But what makes us mad<br />

Are the things that Joseph tells us of the<br />

Dreams he's often had<br />

<br />

(Joseph)<br />

I dreamed that in the fields one day<br />

The corn gave me a sign<br />

Your eleven sheaves of corn<br />

All turned and bowed to mine<br />

My sheaf was quit a sight to see<br />

A golden sheaf and tall<br />

Yours were green and second-rate<br />

And really rather small<br />

<br />

(Brothers)<br />

This is not the kind of thing<br />

We brothers like to hear<br />

It seems to us that Joseph and his<br />

Dreams should disappear<br />

<br />

(Joseph)<br />

I dreamed I saw eleven stars<br />

The sun the moon and sky<br />

Bowing down before my star,<br />

It made me wonder why<br />

Could it be that I was born<br />

For higher things than you?<br />

A post in someone's government<br />

A ministry or two<br />

<br />

(Brothers)<br />

The dreams of our dear brother are<br />

The decade's biggest yawn<br />

His talk of stars and golden sheaves<br />

Is just a load of corn<br />

Not only is he tactless but<br />

He's also rather dim<br />

For there's eleven of us and<br />

There's only one of him<br />

<br />

The dreams of course will not come true<br />

That is, we think they won't come true<br />

That is, we hope they won't come true<br />

What if he's right all along?<br />

<br />

The dreams are more than crystal clear<br />

The writing on the wall<br />

Means that Joseph some day soon<br />

Will rise above us all<br />

The accuracy of the dreams<br />

We brothers do not know<br />

But one thing we are sure about<br />

The dreamer has to go
