With life just begun My sleeping new son Has eyes that roll back in his head They flutter and dart He slows down his heart And pictures a world past his bed Its hard to believe As I watch you breathe Your mind drifts and weaves When you dream What do you dream about When you dream What do you dream about Do you dream about music Or mathematics Or planets too far for the eye? Do you dream about Jesus Or quantum mechanics Or angels who sing lullabyes? His fontanelle pulses With lives that hes lived With memories hell learn to ignore And when it is closed He already knows Hes forgotten all he knew before But when sleep sets in History begins But the future will win When you dream What do you dream about? When you dream What do you dream about? Are they colored or black and white Yiddish or English or languages not yet conceived? Are they silent or boisterous? Do you hear noises Just loud enough to be perceived? Do you hear Del Shannons Runaway Playing on transistor radio waves? With so little experience You might not get cognicent Are you wise beyond your few days? When you dream What do you dream about? (REPEAT CHORUS)
