In honor of Yosef’s day – Yesod She’beYesod of 5779, I did a piano version of my song “Yosef” from the album Am Echad. Enjoy! Lyrics & Melody by Ari Goldwag 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, for 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 planned. Yosef, one day the world will know Your dreams will be fulfilled and your heart will overflow Yosef, you’ll teach all of mankind Reveal that secret light, let it shine for all times So young at that time, the vision 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 Yosef, one day the world will know Your dreams will be fulfilled and your heart will overflow Yosef, you’ll teach all of mankind Reveal that secret light, let it shine for all time 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. Yosef, one day the world will know Your dreams will be fulfilled and your heart will overflow Yosef, you’ll teach all of mankind Reveal that secret light, let it shine for all time
