Benmont Tench - 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'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 open up your eyes And rise And shine 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 Yeah, you were so cool back in high school, what happened? You were so sure not to have your spirits down But 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 open up your eyes And rise And shine Well, they think it's lucky A boy finds a girl To help him 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 all right, it's just gonna take time, and now Who could have 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 open up your eyes And rise And shine 'Cause it's wake-up time Time to open up your eyes And rise And shine
