Joseph

He had a coat with colors that screamed 
A dreamer of dreams or so it seemed
Brothers jealous hearts turned cold
Sold him out for silver and gold 
In Egypt's land he was locked away
Falsely accused yet he chose to stay 
With his head held high he kept his grace
His dreams would lead him to a higher place 
Pharaoh's dreams he dared to decode
Seven years of feast seven of woe
From prisoner to power his name was known
A slave turned king on an iron throne 
Joseph rise up through the strife
Dreams don't die they shape your life
Through the pit through the pain
Your dreams will reign again 

Dreamer boy rising can't hold him down 
From the shadows of the pit to a royal crown
What you meant for harm turned into a plan 
Joseph's faith turned a boy into a man 

From the pit to the palace where the story begins
Young Joseph had a dream he was destined to win 
Brothers threw him down thought they'd end his game 
But the fire in his heart kept burning the same 
Sold to strangers dragged to foreign lands
But he worked with his heart and his steady hands
Potiphar's house yeah he ran that place
Until lies came knocking and they changed his space 
In the dungeon he still held his light
Interpreted dreams in the cold of the night
Pharaoh called him up gave him robes of gold
Joseph stood strong like the dreams he told 
Famine hit hard but Joseph had a scheme 
Stored up the grain lived out the dream
His brothers came back didn't know his face
But Joseph forgave them with a holy grace


Dreamer boy rising can't hold him down 
From the shadows of the pit to a royal crown
What you meant for harm turned into a plan 
Joseph's faith turned a boy into a man
