I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
 To see for certain what I thought I knew
 Far far away, someone was weeping
 But the world was sleeping
 Any dream will do

 Joseph & Kinder:
 I wore my coat, with golden lining
 Bright colors shining, wonderful and new
 And in the east, the dawn was breaking
 And the world was waking
 Any dream will do

 Joseph:
 A crash of drums

 Erz?hlerin:
 A flash of light

 Joseph:
 My golden coat flew out of sight

 Joseph & Erz?hlerin:
 The colors faded into darkness I was left alone

 Joseph & Erz?hlerin & Kinder:
 May I return to the beginning
 The light is dimming, and the dream is too
 The world and I, we are still waiting
 Still hesitating
 Any dream will do

 Alle:
 May I return to the beginning
 The light is dimming, and the dream is too
 The world and I, we are still waiting
 Still hesitating
 Any dream will do
 Give me my colored coat
 My amazing colored coat
 Give me my colored coat
 My amazing colored coat
