A life just begun,    A sleeping new son,    His eyes that roll back in his head.    They flutter and dart    He slows down his heart,    Pictures a world past his bed.    It's 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 dream about music    Or mathematics    Or planets too far for the eye?    Do you dream about Jesus    Or quantum mechanics    Or angels who sing lullabies?       His fontanel pulses    With lives that he's living    And memories he'll learn to ignore.    And when it is closed,    He already knows    He's forgotten all knew him 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 Shannon's runaway playing    on transistor radio waves?    With so little experience,    Your mind not yet cognizant, or   are you wise beyond your few days?      When you dream,    What do you dream about?    When you dream,    What do you dream about?       When you dream,    What do you dream about?    When you dream,    What do you dream about?    When you dream,    What do you dream about?
