Neal Morse - Dreamer In The Jailhouse

I got out, I was lifted up
I poured the wine into Pharaoh's cup
It was his birthday, there was quite a feast
When he hung the Baker's head upon a tree

Years have gone and I've done well
I left behind the dreamer in that prison cell
I'm at the top dog's right hand
I've got a place in the highland
I've got legions of slaves at my command

I have had dream I don't understand
It feels like something dreadful coming to our land
My wise men have no wisdom
They can't explain my dream and no one can, no no

There's a dreamer in the jailhouse
Underneath the stone
He's a Hebrew slave
Far away from home
Yeah, there's a dreamer in the jailhouse
And his mind is strong
He knew everything
And he told me all I needed to know

Trouble haunts me and it just won't quit
Bring this foreign criminal up from the pit
I'm sure he'll be disappointing
Then I'll cut off his head as I see fit, yeah-yeah

There's a dreamer in the jailhouse
Underneath the stone
He's a sorry lot
But he's worth a shot
Yeah, there's a dreamer in the jailhouse
Who's been left to die
But if you wanna let him fly
I could bring him by

I think I'll give him a try

So they say that you are clever
You have wisdom beyond measure
I've had this dream that never lets me rest

It's not really me who knows it
God is the only one who shows it
I can only try and hope that I pass the test, yeah
I'm just a dreamer from the jailhouse (dreamer from the jailhouse)
Underneath the stone (underneath the stone)
I've been there fourteen years
It's become my home (home)
I'm just a dreamer from the jailhouse (dreamer from the jailhouse)
But my God is true
He knows your dream
And what he says to me I'll say to you
