D A
With life just begun, my sleeping new son
G D A
Has eyes that roll back in his head

They flutter and dart, he slows down his heart
G D A
And pictures a world past his bed
Em A
Its hard to believe
Em A
As I watch you breathe
Em A
Your mind drifts and weaves
D
When you dream,
A
What do you dream about?

Jesus or quantum mechanics
D A
Or angels who sing lullabies?

But the future will win
