Close Every Door to Me
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

(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)
     Just give me a number
     Instead of my name
     Forget all about me
     And let me decay
     I do not matter
     I'm only one person
     Destroy me completely
     Then throw me away

     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

     (Joseph, Ensemble & Children)
     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

Sung by Nick Caycedo,
the future is indeed bright for him...
