[Verse] In the heat of the day with cruel sun above Joseph was sold by those he did love Silver exchanged for bonds so tight Trust was a shadow that fled from sight [Verse] To Potiphar's house the young dreamer went Silent cries and broken breath spent Through gilded halls betrayed by hate God's wheels of destiny refuse to wait [Chorus] Unjust chains on innocent skin Nowhere to run to, nothing to begin A tear-stained face in a darkened cell A silent scream in a world gone to hell [Verse] A whisper of hope behind iron bars Echoes still fade beneath cold stars A flicker of faith before certain doom Against the night's deep endless gloom [Bridge] False tongues weave webs of lies Yet truth will rise as darkness dies Innocence trapped in claws of spite But the light will come even in the night [Chorus] Unjust chains on innocent skin Nowhere to run to, nothing to begin A tear-stained face in a darkened cell A silent scream in a world gone to hell
