Did I see you down in a young girl's town   With your mother in so much pain?   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?      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      Will I see you give more than I can take?   Will I only harvest some?   As the days fly past will we lose our grasp   Or fuse it in the sun?      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      Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup   With the promise of a man
