[Verse 1: Moshe Friedman] When the horizon's up, I'm rising up I wake up roaring like a lion cub Got too much to do before my time is up I can fill no less than the entire cup I release myself from the slumber of sleep 'Cuz sleep offers dreams, but there is nothing to reap When my eyelids are heavy with a slumber so deep I pull the floor up under my feet, and I said [Pre-Chorus: Rick Fox] Hey-o, hey-o, that's the alarm clock ringing now Hey-o, hey-o, it's got me singing [Chorus: Rick Fox] Wake up the dawn 'Cuz it's time to start moving on Wake up the dawn In the morning you can't go wrong Wake up the dawn No matter what side you woke up on Wake up the dawn 'Cuz the day is short, and the work is long [Verse 2: Moshe Friedman] Don't underestimate, this ain't for fainthearted Need a leopard's might to get the day started The voice of temptation will make it way harder Think you can outsmart it? That voice is way smarter Yes he is a trickster, every day he differs Too early in the summer, too cold in the winter No permanent cure, no magical elixir Only way to beat him is to wake up quicker, so [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge: Moshe Friedman] Never weaken your hold, never seeking to slow It's your dawn, your day, you can keep in control Every move, every moment, stay increasing the flow Otherwise, resistance grows like the yeast in the dough Better watch your step, there's not much left After sleep, there's only one stop from d**h I hope you brought your best, cuz this is not a test That's why I live every day like I got one breath And then I'm gone [Chorus]
