| I've been dreaming such a long time | |
| And I've been waiting for the sunshine | |
| But all my friends they say I'm getting by with sleeping in | |
| They say I'm sleeping in | |
| You know whenever I try I want to get it right | |
| But I distract my focus and blur my own sight | |
| 'Cause I've convinced myself that my best can only come in the moonlight | |
| And I keep sleeping in | |
| I keep on sleeping in | |
| And missing something | |
| (Close your eyes before daylight breaks) | |
| There are things about me I just can't ignore | |
| I know I want to change and I see that door | |
| On the other side daylight decides there will be war with sleeping in | |
| Oh, I know there'll be no more sleeping in | |
| I wait, I wait, I wait only in jest | |
| I wait, I wait, I wait with no need to rest I wait | |
| "The day, the day, the day will come again," I say | |
| A ray of light can only get in if I say | |
| I've been putting off this purification a rebirth and a regeneration inside of me | |
| And I've been saying "no" for far too long even though something brand new is coming out of me | |
| I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning and then decide | |
| I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning and make it mine | |
| Rain or shine | |
| I wake, I wake, I wake and greet the day | |
| The light is on the change is made I can see my way | |
| The day, the day, this day has come again | |
| Each ray of light will make its way into the core of me | |
| I always knew that I was missing something I know this time that I will leave nothing up to chance | |
| And in the wake of this brand new day I see the light and I feel the sun and I'll do it all again tomorrow | |
| I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning and then decide | |
| I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning and make it mine |
