A boy of dreams in a coat of many shades
Betrayed by blood where the canyon fades
Thrown in a pit by the hands of jealousy
Sold for silver to a foreign destiny
Down in Egypt, a servant in the dark
But the hand of the Maker had left a holy mark

A slave in chains, but a king in heart
In a land of shadows, a new dawn starts
The fields of grain, they were his to save
With a dream in his eyes, he would not give up the chase

What man meant for evil, God meant for good
He turned the betrayal into dynamic food
From the depth of the pit to the steps of the throne
The chains fell away and the glory was shown
Oh, the dreamer arose where the pharaohs stand
To carry the bread to a starving land

The Nile's dark waters, a test to pass
In the desert's heat, his spirit was cast
With faith as his guide, through the night he'd pray
Turning his pain into strength, day by day

Slandered in secret, locked behind the steel
Left in a prison where the forgotten kneel
But a dream in the night is a fire in the bone
And the God of the shadows was guiding His own

What man meant for evil, God meant for good
He turned the betrayal into dynamic food
From the depth of the pit to the steps of the throne
The chains fell away and the glory was shown
Oh, the dreamer arose where the pharaohs stand
To carry the bread to a starving land

What man meant for evil, God meant for good
He turned the betrayal into dynamic food
From the depth of the pit to the steps of the throne
The chains fell away and the glory was shown
Oh, the dreamer arose where the pharaohs stand
To carry the bread to a starving land
