I heard a man telling He told about his dream How he saw a man sleeping Who was awakened so extreme So he went upon a journey To the place our eyes can't see He left his wife and children In the city of despair His eldest son, Joseph Was too young and unaware But now that he is older, he's angry And his life's nowhere It's so unfair But the dream isn't over, it goes on And it passes from the father to the son No, the dream isn't over, though it seems It's dead and gone So the wife and the children left behind The wife, she begins to change her mind But the young man hates his father He left And that's the bottom line That's the bottom line
