Lagu "Coat of Many Colors" adalah lagu yang sangat menyentuh hati. Liriknya yang sederhana namun penuh makna menceritakan tentang seorang anak perempuan yang miskin namun kaya akan kasih sayang ibunya. Lagu ini ditulis oleh Dolly Parton dan dirilis pada tahun 1971.
Lagu ini bercerita tentang seorang gadis kecil yang menerima mantel dari ibunya yang terbuat dari kain perca. Meskipun mantel tersebut sederhana dan tidak seindah mantel milik teman-temannya, gadis kecil tersebut sangat bangga memakainya. Ia tahu bahwa mantel tersebut dibuat dengan penuh kasih sayang oleh ibunya.
Lagu ini mengajarkan kita tentang pentingnya kasih sayang dan rasa syukur. Meskipun kita tidak memiliki banyak harta benda, kita bisa tetap bahagia jika kita dikelilingi oleh orang-orang yang mencintai kita. Sebaliknya, meskipun kita memiliki banyak harta benda, kita tidak akan pernah merasa bahagia jika kita tidak memiliki kasih sayang dari keluarga dan teman-teman.
Semoga lagu ini dapat menginspirasi kita untuk menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik.
Coat of Many Colors Lyrics
Dolly Parton
Back through the years I go wanderin' once againBack to the seasons of my youthAnd I recall a box of rags someone gave usAnd how my momma put the rags to useThere were rags of many colorsBut every piece was smallI didn't have a coatAnd it was way down in the fallMomma sewed the rags togetherSewin' every piece with loveShe made my coat of many colorsThat I was so proud ofWhile momma sewed, she told a storyFrom The Bible, she had readAbout a coat of many colorsJoseph wore and then she said"I hope this coat will bring youGood luck and happiness"And I just couldn't wait to wear itAnd momma blessed it with a kissMy coat of many colorsThat my momma made for meMade only from ragsBut I wore it so proudlyAnd although we had no moneyI was rich as I could beIn my coat of many colorsMomma made for meSo with patches on my britchesHoles in both my shoesIn my coat of many colorsI hurried off to schoolJust to find the others laughingAnd making fun of meIn my coat of many colorsMomma made for meAnd oh I couldn't understand that'Cause I felt I was richAnd I told them of the loveMomma sewed in every stitchI even told 'em all the storyMomma told me while she sewedWhy my coat of many colorsWas worth more than all their clothesThey didn't understand itAnd I tried to make them seeOne is only poorOnly if they choose to beIt's true we had no moneyBut I was rich as I could beIn my coat of many colorsMomma made for me'Cause she made it just for me
