Joseph: King of Dreams Page #5

(Door closes)

(Murmuring)

Don't speak unless you're spoken to.

Don't worry. It'll be all right.

Welcome.

- You've done what I've asked?

- Our brother, Benjamin.

You kept your word.

Bring out the other brother.

So, Benjamin,

tell me of your mother and father.

My mother is no longer alive.

Oh. I- I'm sorry.

And your father?

- He's worried I'm here.

- Why is that?

- I'm a long way from home.

- Oh? Doesn't he trust your brothers?

He likes me to stay close by.

Really? Why is that?

A long time ago,

h-he lost his youngest son.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that.

How did that happen?

- He was killed.

- Killed? How?

By wolves.

- Wolves?

- Yes.

It broke my father's heart.

Well, it must have been very hard

on your brothers too.

- They never speak of it.

- Don't they?

- Benjamin!

- (Brothers) Simeon!

- I was beginning to worry.

- (All murmuring)

You must be hungry

after your journey. Come.

You'll be my guests.

(Traditional music)

- A toast...

- (Music stops)

to brothers.

(All) To brothers!

(Music resumes)

(Brothers arguing and protesting)

Stop this. You have no right.

We've done nothing wrong.

What's going on?

Why have they been arrested?

- Joseph, what are you doing?

- You'll see.

Get back in place. Get back in...

I give you food.

I take you into my home.

And this is how you repay me,

by stealing?

We wouldn't steal from you!

- And now you insult me by lying.

- What?

One of you has stolen from me.

Benjamin.

- (Murmuring) No...

- The favoured one.

- I didn't!

- Arrest him.

For this you will be punished.

- Someone put it there!

- Stop! Take me instead.

- No, take me.

- Take me!

- (All) Take me!

- Take any of us, your grace,

but, please, let the boy go.

You would sacrifice yourselves

for a spoiled half-brother?

Yes.

Why should you care if I take him,

beat him, make him a slave?

Because I will not

make my father suffer...again.

Again? What do you mean, "again"?

Our brother was not killed by wolves.

We were blinded by jealousy

and sold him into slavery.

For 20 years

we have lived with that guilt.

We can't go back without the boy.

My father could not bear it

a second time.

And neither could we.

If anyone is to be punished,

it should be us.

(Sighs)

I will not harm any of you

or our father.

I am your brother, Joseph.

- Joseph?

- I can't believe you're here.

How can it be?

Joseph?

I have so much to tell you,

so many questions to ask.

Oh, Joseph, can you ever forgive us?

I already have.

Can you forgive me for thinking

I was some miracle from God?

But you are a miracle.

God sent you to save our family

and all of Egypt.

- And you did.

- Asenath?

Please. I'd like you

to meet my brothers.

(All) Welcome. Pleasure to meet you.

You will join me here,

all of you, with your families.

Look!

- I see him! There he is!

- It's him! There he is!

- Joseph!

- Father.

Father! Father!

- Father!

- Joseph.

My boy. My boy.

Your mother prayed

this day would come,

that we'd all be together again

as a family.

- It's a miracle.

- Yes, Father. It is a miracle.

# Oh, you know

# Better than I

# You know

# The way

# I've let go

# The need to know why

# I'll take what answers

# You supply

# You know better than I #

(Man) # A single voice

# Is joined by multitudes in song

# With every verse

# They're finding harmonies

# That rise to Heaven sure and strong

# Richer and richer,

the soil on which they thrive

# Higher and higher

# A hymn of what it means

to be alive

# You've got to give

a little more than you take

# You've got to leave

a little more than was here

# You may be prideful

of the strides you will make

# But keep one thing clear

# You're just a player

in a much bigger plan

# And still you have

to give it all that you can

# The very measure of your soul

is at stake

# You've got to give

a little more than you take

(Woman) # The seasons fly

# A man stands where a boy once stood

# His path unfolds

# And unafraid he walks in service

# Of a greater good

(Both) # Deeper and deeper

the lessons he has known

# Over and over

# The message

he is surely being shown

# You've got to give

a little more than you take

# You've got to leave

a little more than was here

# You may be prideful

of the strides you will make

# But keep one thing clear

# You're just a player

in a much bigger plan

# And still you have

to give it all that you can

# The very measure of your soul

is at stake

# You've got to give

a little more than you take

# The very measure of your soul

is at stake

# You've got to give

a little more than you take #
