Lyrics
A Nebuchadnezzar Dream
While dreaming in bed one night sleeping
I'd a vision I want to recall
With a wand my magician-fulfilled my pettion
I felt safe with my destiny
So rising from sleep the full hieght of my head
Surveyed all that my power had done
Said, "soul take your rest-eat drink and be blessed"
Then my thoughts they turned to the sea
So I climbed on aboard and set sailing
For a city that's called Babylon
Where the merchants are buying and selling
It's for sure that they'll bow to my song
For it is the head of my idol
Trade with it gold silver and stone
For my hand has constructed the image
I'll bow down to it alone
Then one day while I pondered my kingdom
I was struck down to graze in the grass
Felt the wet of the dew-my nails they grew too
And e'er'thing I ate but my word
Then a voice came to me from the heavens
Rise up and bow down to me
So I started to sing-gained my place back as king
From the throne yet 'tis what I heard
Climb aboard now and we can be sailing
In a city that's called Babylon
We're the merchants we're buying and selling
We'll drink and dance to the song
For the head of the idol's still calling
Trade with me gold silver and stone
For our hands can still mold an image
We'll bow down to it alone
When well you wake up?
See the world's not revolving 'round you
Though you may set your course-use the stars as your source
And pipe aboard the captian of fate
Then you wake up in fear you're not dreaming
And you see that the Way it was sure
But you're cut to the stump-seven years in one lump
And the time now it's growing late
Still you climb on aboard and set sailing
For a city that's called Babylon
Where the merchants are buying and selling
But the music has silenced her song
For the head of the idol is fallen
From the blow of a mountain stone
That was not made with hands of a human
For the stone is the Lord alone
The stone is the Lord alone
