Cette chanson évoque le doux souvenir d’une enfance modeste, où une mère crée un manteau coloré à partir de morceaux de tissus. Elle le confectionne avec amour, tout en racontant une histoire biblique sur Joseph. Malgré les rires et les moqueries des autres enfants, le narrateur ressent une immense fierté et une richesse intérieure grâce à l'amour que ce manteau symbolise. Le contexte se déroule durant l'enfance de l'artiste, alors qu'elle se remémore des moments simples mais emplis d'affection familiale. L'accent est mis sur le fait que la véritable richesse ne réside pas dans l'argent, mais dans l'amour et l'appréciation des petites choses de la vie.
