Coat of Many Colors by Brandon Lake is a song about change and hope. It tells a story of someone who has been through tough times but is now living a better life. The song uses colors to describe different parts of this journey. Red stands for the blood that saved him, white for the light that guided him, and gold for the crown he’s been given.
The song talks about how even enemies can become friends. It’s a message of forgiveness and understanding. Lake’s music creates a picture of someone who has faced challenges but has come out stronger on the other side.
“Coat of Many Colors” is like wearing a beautiful piece of clothing that shows the world who you are and where you’ve been. It’s a song about finding your identity and purpose with the help of someone greater than yourself.

I am clothed in a coat of many colors
I am wrapped in the light
And I am held in the arms of a loving father
Was lying in a pit
But I’m walking the palace now
‘Cause once I was a beggar
Now I live in the King’s house
Because
Red was the blood that saved me
White was the light that pulled me from the dark
Gold was the crown You placed upon my head
That showed me who You are
With mercy and grace
I’ve been embraced
Like no other
I gave You my heart
You gave me a coat of many colors
Many colors
Sometimes your worst enemies
Turn out to be your brothers
I know you understand
‘Cause I’ve got dreams that can seem
To give me trouble
Was lying in a pit
But I’m walking the palace now
Once I was a beggar
Now I live in the King’s house
Because
Red was the blood that saved me
White was the light that pulled me from the dark
Gold was the crown You placed upon my head
That showed me who You are
With mercy and grace
I’ve been embraced
Like no other
I gave You my heart
You gave me a coat of many colors
Yeah
Many colors
Many colors (I wear my coat everywhere I go)
Ooh (I wear my coat, I want the world to know)
Many colors (I wear my coat everywhere I go)
Ooh (I wear my coat, I want the world to know)
I wear my coat everywhere I go
I wear my coat, I want the world to know
I wear my coat everywhere I go
I wear my coat, I want the world to know
I wear my coat everywhere I go
I wear my coat, I want the world to know
I wear my coat everywhere I go
I wear my coat, I want the world to know
Red was the blood that saved me
White was the light that pulled me from the dark
Gold was the crown You placed upon my head
That showed me who You are
With mercy and grace
I’ve been embraced
Like no other
I gave You my heart
You gave me a coat of many colors
Many colors
Many colors
Many colors
Many colors
