This song is Joseph’s brothers lying to their father Jacob about what happened to Joseph, his favorite son. In reality the brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt but they said that Joseph was dead, and Jacob believes them.
This song is often performed with a country-style twang.
[Reuben]
Father, we've something to tell you, a story of our time
A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime
You know you had a dozen sons, well, now that's not quite true
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve, he would not want you to
[Reuben, Reuben's Wife & Male Ensemble]
There's one more angel in Heaven
There's one more star in the sky
Joseph, we'll never forget you
It's tough, but we're gonna get by
There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
[Brothers]
But, Joseph, the things that you stood for
[Reuben]
Like truth and light never die
When I think of his last great battle
A lump comes to my throat
It takes a man who knows no fear
To wrestle with a goat
His blood-stained coat is tribute to
His final sacrifice
His body may be past its peak
But his soul's in paradise
[Jacob]
There's one less place at our table
There's one more tear in my eye
[Brothers]
But, Joseph, the things that you stood for
[Reuben]
Like truth and light never die
[Brothers]
Carve his name with pride and courage
[Naphtali]
Let no tear be shed
[Brothers]
If he had not laid down his life
We all would now be dead
One More Angel in Heaven was written by Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice.
