Prologue
Joseph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some folks dream of the wonders they'll do
Before their time on this planet is through
Some just don't have anything planned
They hide their hopes and their heads in the sand
Now I don't say who is wrong, who is right
But if by chance you are here for the night
Then all I need is an hour or two
We all dream a lot-- some are lucky, some are not
But if you think it, want it, dream it, then it's real
You are what you feel
But all that I say can be told another way
In the story of a boy whose dream came true
And he could be you
The prologue of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, sung by the Narrator, sets the tone for the rest of the musical. The lyrics suggest that everyone has dreams, but some are afraid to pursue them while others are lucky enough to achieve them. The Narrator implies that the dreamers in the audience can relate to the story that is about to unfold on stage.
The first verse of the song introduces the idea that some people have big dreams and plans for their lives while others do not. Those who don't have plans might be afraid to pursue their dreams, and instead, they ignore them by hiding "their hopes and their heads in the sand." The Narrator doesn't judge either way and invites the audience to listen to the story of a dreamer like them.
The second verse of the song implies that dreams are powerful and can become reality if people believe in them enough. The lyrics suggest that if people think and feel it, they can make their dreams a reality. The Narrator confirms that the story of Joseph, whose dream came true, can be told in another way to encourage the audience to believe in their dreams too.
Overall, the prologue sets the stage for a musical about hope, dreams, and perseverance. The Narrator invites the audience to listen to the story of Joseph, a boy whose dream came true, suggesting that it could be any of them.
Line by Line Meaning
Some folks dream of the wonders they'll do
There are individuals who dream of achieving great things during their lifetime
Before their time on this planet is through
Before they pass away
Some just don't have anything planned
Some people don't have any goals or plans for their future
They hide their hopes and their heads in the sand
These individuals keep their aspirations hidden and avoid facing reality
Now I don't say who is wrong, who is right
I won't judge or point out which approach is correct or incorrect
But if by chance you are here for the night
If you happen to be here in this moment
Then all I need is an hour or two
All I require is a brief period of time
To tell the tale of a dreamer like you
To recount the story of an individual who shares your aspirations
We all dream a lot-- some are lucky, some are not
Everyone has dreams; some are fortunate enough to achieve them, while others are not
But if you think it, want it, dream it, then it's real
If you can imagine it, desire it, and envision it, then it becomes tangible and possible to attain
You are what you feel
You become what you believe and experience within yourself
But all that I say can be told another way
However, my words may also be interpreted differently
In the story of a boy whose dream came true
Through the depiction of a boy whose aspirations were realized
And he could be you
This boy could be you or someone like you, who has the potential to make their dreams a reality
