Lyrics:

Joseph:
Close every door to me, hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me, hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night
If my life were important I would ask: will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world

Close every door to me, keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find my own peace of mind
For I have been promised a land of my own

Children:
Close every door to me, hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light

Joseph:
If my life were important I would ask: will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world

Joseph, Ensemble Children:
Close every door to me, keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For we know we shall find our own peace of mind
For we have been promised a land of our own
