You follow your feelings you follow your dreams
You follow the leader into the trees
And whats in there waiting neither one of us knows
You gotta keep one eye open further one of us knows
You never dreamed youd go down on one knees but now
Who could have seen youd be so hard to please somehow
You feel like a poor boy a long way from home
Youre just a poor boy a long way from home

And its wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

You spend you 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 youre just a poor boy alone in this world
Youre just a poor boy alone in this world

And its wake up time
Time to open up 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 its just gonna take time but now
Who could have seen youd be so hard to please somehow
Youre just a poor boy along way from home
Youre just a poor boy along way from home

And its wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise and shine

Cause its wake up time
Its time to open your eyes
And rise and shine
