(Joseph)

Close every door to me

Hide all the world from me

Bar all the windows

And shut out the light

Do what you want with me

Hate me and laugh at me

Darken my daytime

And torture my night

If my life were important IWould ask will I live or die

But I know the answers lie

Far from this world



Close every door to me

Keep those I love from meChildren of Israel

Are never alone

For I know I shall find

My own peace of mind

For I have been promised

A land of my own



(Children)

Close every door to me

Hide all the world from me

Bar all the windows

And shut out the light



(Joseph)

Just give me a number

Instead of my name

Forget all about me

And let me decay

I do not matter

I'm only one person

Destroy me completely

Then throw me away



If my life were important I

Would ask will I live or die

But I know the answers lie

Far from this world



Close every door to me



(Joseph, Ensemble
