"Joseph's Coat" lyrics

"Joseph's Coat"

Joseph's many colored coat
Left him lying in the moat
He lived a life as prince and slave
And in the end forgave
You want to feel like a man
Then act like a man
You want to be like a man
You gotta act like a man

You live your life by bein' fair
You'll find that your strength lies there
For kings and armies will fight in vain
Against a natural man
You want to feel like a man
Then act like a man
You want to be like a man
You gotta act like a man

The road of life is dark and steep
Sometimes it's like a nightmare creepin'
If you don't give for what you take
You may never awake

Ah...

The road of life is dark and steep
Sometimes it's like a nightmare creepin'
If you don't give for what you take
You may never awake
You may never awake
You may never awake
