Tim Rice Prologue-You Are What You Feel/Jacob and Sons Lyrics

Some folks dream of the wonders they'll do
Before their time on this planet is through
Some just don't have anything planned
They hide their hopes and their heads in the sand
Now I don't say who is wrong, who is right
But if by chance you are here for the night
Then all I need is an hour or two
To tell the tale of a dreamer like you
We all dream a lot - some are lucky, some are not
But if you think it, want it, dream it, then it's real
You are what you feel

But all that I say can be told another way
In the story of a boy whose dreams came true
and he could be you

Way way back, many centuries ago
not long after the bible began
jacob lived in the land of canaan
a fine example of a family man

jacob, jacob and sons
depended on farming to earn their keep
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Spent all their days in the rields with sheep

Jacob was the Founder of a whole new nation
Thanks of the number of sons he'd had
He was also known as Isreal, but most of the time
His wife and sons used to call him "Dad"

Jacob, Jacob and sons
men of the soil, of the sheath and crook
Jacob, Jacob and sons
a remarkable family in anyone's book

Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel
With Simeon and Levi the next in line
Naphtali and Isachar with Asher and Dan
Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one
Jacob, Jacob and sons,
Joseph - Jacob's favourite son
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob, Jacob and sons
Jacob Jacob Jacob
Jacob and
Sons
