[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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? [Chorus] 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
