ReubenFather we've something to tell you, a story of our time
A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in ist prime
You know you had a dozen son -
Well now that's not quite true
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve,
He would not want you toReuben, Reuben's Wife & Male EnsembleThere's one more angel in heave
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 a out table
There's one more tear in my eyeBrothersBut Joseph the things that you stood for
ReubenLike 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 paradiseJacobThere's one less place a out table
There's one more tear in my eyeBrothersBut Joseph the things that you stood forReubenLike truth and light never dieBrothersCarve his name with pride and courageNaphtaliLet no tear be shedBrothersIf he had not laid down his life
We all would now be dead
