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. And it's wake up time. Time to open 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 dampened. 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 your eyes. And rise and shine. 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 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 your eyes. And rise and shine. 'Cause it's wake up time. It's time to open your eyes. And rise and shine
