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
