THE MEANING OF THE LYRICS
ANY DREAM WILL DO
JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAM COAT~~
Our regular post will come later. This is 'extra.'
The Biblical story of Joseph is a parable of forgiveness and the universality of the human condition.
The words to the song were written to reflect that... Joseph, who has suffered much at the hands of his own brothers and others, is now in a position to help his starving brothers.
When he 'dreams' he 'sees' humanity as a whole. Indeed,, his 'coat of many colors' means he 'sees' for all of us, no matter what group. He knows that those who do wrong also have wrong done to them. Not necessarily for any divine reason, but that's just the way society is.
So he returns hateful acts with blessings. He saves his family and deals with all in an understanding, accepting loving way.
He 'saw' from a loftier vantage point during his 'dream' or state of higher consciousness.
He was open to the truth.
If you like, click OLDER POST at the bottom and go back and listen to the song again. Or just scroll down to it if your page is set up that way.
