Any dream will do Joseph I closed my eyes, drew back the curtainTo see for certain what I thought I knewFar far away, someone was weepingBut the world was sleepingAny dream will doJoseph & Children I wore my coat, with golden liningBright colours shining, wonderful and newAnd in the east, the dawn was breakingAnd the world was wakingAny dream will do
Joseph A crash of drums, a flash of lightMy golden coat flew out of sightThe colours faded into darknessI was left aloneJoseph & Children May I return to the beginningThe light is dimming, and the dream is tooThe world and I, we are still waitingStill hesitatingAny dream will do
