Prologue: Any Dream Will Do

[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]

I wore my coat

With golden lining

[CHILDREN]

I wore my coat

Aah

[JOSEPH]

Bright colors shining, wonderful and new

And in the east

[CHILDREN]

And in the east...

[JOSEPH]

The dawn was breaking (Aah)

And the world was waking (Aah)

Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat flew out of sight

The colors faded into darkness

I was left alone

May I return

To the beginning (Aah)

[CHILDREN]

May I return...

[JOSEPH]

The light is dimming (Aah)

And the dream is too

The world and I

[CHILDREN]

The world and I...

[JOSEPH]

We are still waiting (Aah)

Still hesitating (Aah)

Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat flew out of sight

The colors faded into darkness

I was left alone

May I return

To the beginning (Aah)

[CHILDREN]

May I return...

[JOSEPH]

The light is dimming (Aah)

And the dream is too

The world and I

[CHILDREN]

The world and I...

[JOSEPH]

We are still waiting (Aah)

Still hesitating (Aah)

Any dream will do
