Believe In The Man With A Dream

(álbum: Food For The Mind - 1971)

I wasn't long ago when the caveman discovered he could use a jawbone for a tool
And all his cave-friends gathered around the kids, talked and called him a fool
Ezingle was the biggest caveman who was laughing the loudest in the crowd
He hit him one time on the head with the jawbone and it knocked him dead and then he said:

Na na na na, believe in the man with the dream
And who'd like to be the next in line to laugh at me?

It wasn't long ago when Galileo first turned his eyes to the sun
And everyone gathered around and called him insane
They all cried out "If God had made man to see among the stars
He'd given him eyes bigger than the Redwood tree"

"Na na na na, believe in the man with the dream" He said with a grin
God gave me the ability to fill this land
Na na na na, once more someday you're gonna see
A man walking by the face of the moon and it came true

It wasn't long ago when Columbus tried to tell the Queen the world was round like a ball
She laughed so hard, she fell right down to the ground
Please M's Queen, you're the loveliest lady that I've ever seen
Give me three ships and a crew, because I love you

Na na na na, believe in the man with the dream
He's the kind of man who win the heart of the queen

It wasn't long ago when the Wright Brothers said we're going to fly like a bird in the sky
And everyone gathered round and said "My my my"
Again they cried out "If God made man to fly high in the sky above
He'd given him wings like an eagle and down as a dove"

Na na na na, believe in the man with the dream
Up there in the sky is the man who said "I'm gonna fly"
Na na na na, what's more someday your gonna see
An airship bigger than the space we'd just flew and it came true

Well, it wasn't long ago I head someone say "It's time to walk upon the face of the moon"
[?] God bless you and your crew
And it wasn't long ago I heard someone say "Will there ever be peace on the earth?"
Well, it hasn't happened yet but you can bet it's on its way

Because the man with the dream is gonna walk to the front someday
Throw back his head and shout "I know the way!"
Some will cry "Oh, the man's insane"
But the man with the dream is gonna win in the end like it's always been someday

Na na na na, believe in the man with the dream
Na na na na-na na-na na na...
