Oh My Father, I Am Joseph

Oh my father, I am Joseph

One who walks upon the earth

I am hated by my brothers

They throw stones and spiteful words

They have robbed me of my vineyards

And have set my fields afire

They would rather see me hanging as a saint

Than by their side

For I saw eleven stars

The sun and the moon

Kneeling before me, my lord

Oh my father, I am Joseph

Just the way you had me made

Heaven's birds rest on my shoulders

And the wheat bows my way

And for being like you made me

They have thrown me in the well

For the dreams that I've had lately

Seem too real not to tell

That I saw eleven stars

The sun and the moon

Kneeling before me, my lord

What did I ever do?

Did I displease you?

What have I got into?

And why me?

Tell me what have I done?

Did I upset you?

Did I do someone wrong when I said…?
