The Dreamer Lyrics - The Statler Brothers

Well, Joseph had the faith and he could see 

He could see into the future, interpret dreams and predict world crisis 

Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt and rose from prisoner to royalty 

Because of his special talent, a talent God gave him 

And God made all his dreams come true 

Joseph had a coat of many colors 

Joseph had a closet full of dreams 

That told how he would one day rule his brothers 

And tore his life apart right at the seams 

'Cause Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery 

And sent him on his way to Egypt land 

And the day the dreamer started out for Egypt 

The nightmare of Israel began 

The dreamer made his bed in Pharaoh's kingdom 

But his master's woman layed for him 

It seems she had her own dreams for the dreamer 

And sent him up when he would not give in 

But Pharaoh got word about the dreamer 

'Cause Pharaoh took to dreamin' on his own 

Pharaoh took a likin' to the dreamer 

Set him free and called him to the throne 

The dreams that he interpreted for Pharoah 

Told about the famine yet to come 

He rationed out the food to Pharaoh's kingdom 

So there'd be enough for everyone 

The dreamer sent a message to his father 

Said, "I'm alive and well in Egypt land" 

Said he'd made a place for them beside him 

For them to come and share his dreams with him 

Joseph had a coat of many colors 

Joseph had a purpose to pursue 

Joseph had forgiveness for his brothers 

The dreamer had a dream and it came true 

Yeah, Joseph had a dream and it came true
