Wake Up Time

You follow your feelings, you follow your dreamsYou follow the leader into the treesAnd what's in there waiting, neither one of us knowsYou gotta keep one eye open the further you goYou never dreamed you'd go down on one knee, but nowWho could have seen, you'd be so hard to please somehowYou feel like a poor boy, a long way from homeYou're just a poor boy, a long way from homeAnd it's wake up timeTime to open your eyesAnd rise and shineYou spend your life dreaming, running 'round in a tranceYou hang out forever and still miss the danceAnd if you get lucky, you might find someoneTo help you get over the pain that will comeYeah, you were so cool back in high school, what happenedYou were so sure not to have your spirits dampenedBut you're just a poor boy alone in this worldYou're just a poor boy alone in this worldAnd it's wake up timeTime to open your eyesAnd rise and shineWell, if he gets lucky, a boy finds a girlTo help him to shoulder the pain in this worldAnd if you follow your feelingsAnd you follow your dreamsYou might find the forest there in the treesYeah, you'll be alright, it's just gonna take time, but nowWho could have seen you'd be so hard to please somehowYou're just a poor boy a long way from homeYou're just a poor boy a long way from homeAnd it's wake up timeTime to open your eyesAnd rise and shine'Cause it's wake up timeIt's time to open your eyesAnd rise and shine
