[Verse 1] A coat declared the father's love and sharpened every hate, Sheaves bowed down in Joseph's dream, the stars would do the same. His brothers saw him coming and named the dreamer from afar, Then stripped away the garment and cast him where no waters were. [Pre-Chorus] Silver changed hands beside the road, And blood was painted on the coat. [Chorus] The dreamer in the pit could not see Egypt's throne, The father saw the blood and mourned a son he thought was gone. What jealousy had buried and slavery carried far, God would keep beneath the silence like a fire beneath the stars. [Verse 2] Reuben tore his clothing when the empty pit appeared, While Jacob would not be comforted and Joseph disappeared. Judah left his brothers, and his own house broke apart, Tamar waited for the justice he had withheld from her heart. [Bridge] A veil beside the roadway, a signet, cord, and staff, Exposed the double measure when the evidence came back. Judah spoke the truth at last, "She is more righteous than I," And Perez crossed the threshold where the promised line survived. [Final Chorus] The dreamer in the pit could not see Egypt's throne, The father saw the blood and mourned a son he thought was gone. What brothers sold for silver and carried from their sight, God would turn toward preservation in the fullness of the time. [Outro] The coat was torn, the dream remained, And hidden roads led down to Egypt.
