Joseph |
Father we've something to tell you,
A story of our time,
The tragic
but inspiring tale
Of manhood in its prime.
You know you had a dozen
sons,
Well now that's not quite true,
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve,
He would not want you to.
CHORUS:
There's one more angel in heaven,
There's one more
star in the sky,
Joseph we'll never forget you,
It's tough but we're
gonna get by.
There's one less place at our table,
There's one more tear
in our eye,
Joseph the things that you stood for
Like truth and life
never die.
When I think of his last great battle,
A lump comes to my throat.
It
takes a man who knows not fear
To wrestle, with... a goat!
Carve his name
with pride and courage,
Let no tear be shed,
If he had not laid down his
life,
We all would now be dead.
CHORUS
Joseph died as he wished to
He answered duty's call.
He single-handed
fought the beast
That would have slain us all.
His bloodstained coat's a
tribute to
His final sacrifice,
His body may not be with us,
But his
soul's in paradise.
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.
I wore my coat with golden lining,
Bright colours shining, wonderful and
new,
And in the east, the dawn was breaking
And the world was waking,
Any dream will do.
A crash of drums, a flash of light,
My golden coat
flew out of sight,
The colours faded into darkness
I was left
alone...
May I return to the beginning,
For the light is dimming, and the dream is too,
The world and I, we are still waiting,
Still hesitating, Any dream will do.
Bring me my coloured coat,
My amazing coloured coat (x 2 )
