prologue
Joseph and the technicolour dreamcoat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before their time on this planet is through.
Some just don't have anything planned,
They hide their hopes and theirs 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
To tell the tale of a dreamer like you.
We all dream alot - 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.
