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 & Kinder:

I wore my coat, with golden lining

Bright colors 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



Erzählerin:

A flash of light



Joseph:

My golden coat flew out of sight



Joseph & Erzählerin:

The colors faded into darkness I was left alone



Joseph & Erzählerin & Kinder:

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



Alle:

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

Give me my colored coat

My amazing colored coat

Give me my colored coat

My amazing colored coat
