Did I see you down
In a young girl's town
With your mother in so much pain?
Well, I was almost there
At the top of the stairs
With her screamin' in the rain
Did she wake you up
To tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up,
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
Did I see you walking with the boys
Though it was not hand in hand?
And was some black face
In a lonely place
When you could understand?
Now did she wake you up
Just to tell you that
It was only a change of plans?
Dream up, dream up,
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
Will I see you give
More than I can take?
Will I only harvest some?
And as the days fly past
Will we lose our grasp
Or fuse it in the sun?
Did she wake you up
Just to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up,
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
Awwww dream up, dream up!
Let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man
