Lyrics:

COAT OF MANY COLOURS

Written by Mark Wright

 

I built a wall around me to keep in all my prejudice and fear

Now don't you ever tell me that it's really lovin' that I fear

'Cause I'll be gone

And it's a long road

 

You say I never knew knew you

But I'll save a kiss for you my brother in my tear

I'll try to look right through you

And feel the love that's been lost throughout the years

We have grown old

But it's long road

 

I have walked a hundred wastelands

And I've stumbled in the dark

I've gone wadin' in the waters where the many rivers crossed

And I have grown

I have kissed a thousand girlfriends

Tried to make them understand

I have run around in circles placing footprints in the sand

Then I have flown

I've worn this coat of many colours for so long

 

Jesus, won't you help me

Won't you tell me what I have done wrong

Jesus, will you guide me

Help me find the path I should be on

I have grown cold

And it's along road

 

I have walked a hundred wastelands

And I've stumbled in the dark

I've gone wadin' in the waters where the many rivers crossed

And I have grown

I have kissed a thousand girlfriends

Tried to make them understand

I have run around in circles placing footprints in the sand

Then I have flown

I've worn this coat of many colours for so long

 

Halle, Hallelujah

I wanna raise my hands up to sky
