A heavenly light shone upon his mind
Revealing the path he was meant to find
The dreams that he dreamt reflected this glow
He knew of his mission, his God-given role
A guide he would be to his nation’s first growth
They’d bow to his wisdom, embracing his hope
In all that would be, he’d show them the hand
Of Hashem’s guiding love, the bright future He’d planned
Chorus:
Yosef, Yosef, one day the world will know
Your dreams will be fulfilled and your heart will overflow
Yosef, Yosef, you’ll teach all of mankind
Reveal that secret light, let it shine for all times
So young at that time, the dreams that he’d share
Arousing such hatred, his brothers would dare
To send him away, left only to fate
But he’d never allow his heart to wallow in hate
Wherever he’d go, Hashem’s name was on his tongue
Success somehow followed every deed that he’d done
Each challenge he’d face with an unswerving faith
‘Til the day he was freed and to prominence raised
Chorus
When their paths crossed again, the brothers seemed blind
To him it was clear it had now come the time
To cleverly guide and help them reclaim
The greatness inside have it fanned to a flame
They stood, as a wall, ‘round their father’s last son
They’d accomplished the goal, now they’d all join as one
Their betrayal and shame, he dismissed out of hand
It was all but a part of Hashem’s master-plan
