The line "In my coat of many colors" is borrowed from an Osip Mandelstam poem.

In my coat of many colours
I'm waiting for my child
I'm waiting for my journey
I'm waiting for my prize

My lord
My lord

Jesus coming running
Oh sweet Jesus run and hide
Yeah I'm on my way to heaven
Oh sweet Jesus come inside

My lord
Long time coming

If I could call my mother
Say mother dry my eyes
If he'd left me in these colours
Then he ain't no god of mine

My lord
Long time coming
