Joseph's trouble started with a dream And a coat that was sewn with a colorful seam Who would've thought his own flesh and blood Would've done what only an enemy would Sold to slavery left to find A way to leave his hurts behind I'm not sure I'd have pa**ed that test And let my anger rest Joseph's trouble is trouble indeed So hard to let go what hurts so deep How quickly we forget God sees things we can't see yet Well, there just might be some purpose in our pain Joseph's trouble is such a troubling thing Egypt was a dry and a desolate place For a boy torn from his father's embrace So young and blameless and so alone Such hurtful memories so far from home They say time can heal the wounds we bare But time don't change what put them there When the memories stir it all up again It's hard to understand Joseph's trouble is trouble indeed So hard to let go what hurts so deep How quickly we forget God sees things we can't see yet
Well, there just might be some purpose in our pain Joseph's trouble is such a troubling thing What was meant for spite and pain Can come around for good again Until some ray of light breaks through Your faith may have to comfort you (Whoa, whoa) Joseph's trouble is trouble indeed So hard to let go what hurts so deep How quickly we forget God sees things we can't see yet Well, there just might be some purpose in our pain Joseph's trouble is such a troubling thing How quickly we forget God sees things we can't see yet Well, there just might be some purpose in our pain Joseph's trouble is such a troubling thing Such a troubling thing Joseph's trouble is a troubling thing Joseph's trouble is a troubling thing Joseph's trouble is a troubling thing Joseph's trouble is trouble indeed Joseph's trouble is a troubling thing Joseph's trouble is trouble indeed Joseph's trouble is a troubling thing Joseph's trouble is trouble indeed
