Song Lyrics

'Kay- one, two, three
You got tape, Bugs?
One, two, three, one, two, three

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've 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

And it's wake up time
Time to rise and shine
Wake up time

You spend your life dreaming, running 'round in a trance
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
You were so cool back in high school, huh, what happened?
You never dreamed you'd be so hard to please, somehow
And you're just a poor boy, alone in this world
You're just a poor boy, alone in this world

And it's wake up time
Time to rise and shine
It's wake up time

If you lucky, you might find a girl
To help you to shoulder the pain in this world
And if you follow your feelings, you follow your dreams
You might find the forest there in the trees
Yeah, you'll be alright, it's just gonna take time, right now
Who could've seen you'd be so hard to please, somehow?
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home

And it's wake up time
Time to rise and shine
It's wake up time
Time to rise and shine
It's wake up time
Rise and shine
Wake up time
