Wake Up Time Lyrics

You follow your feelings, you follow your dreams

You follow the leader into the trees

And what's in there waiting, neither one of us knows

You gotta keep one eye open the further you go

You never dreamed you'd go down on one knee, but now

Who could have seen, you'd be so hard to please somehow

You feel like a poor boy, a long way from home

You're just a poor boy, a long way from home



(Chorus)

And it's wake up time

Time to open your eyes

And rise and shine



You spend your life dreaming, running 'round in a trace

You hang out forever and still miss the dance

And if you get lucky, you might find someone

To help you get over the pain that will come

Yeah, you were so cool back in high school, what happened

You were so sure not to have your spirits dampened

But you're just a poor boy alone in this world

You're just a poor boy alone in this world



(Chorus)



Well, if he gets lucky, a boy finds a girl

To help him to shoulder the pain in this world

And if you follow your feelings

And you follow your dreams

You might find the forest there in the trees

Yeah, you'll be alright, it's just gonna take time, but now

Who could have seen you'd be so hard to please somehow

You're just a poor boy alone in this world

You're just a poor boy alone in this world



(Chorus)



'Cause it's wake up time

It's time to open your eyes

And rise and shine
