Da da da da da da, da da da da da da



Why sleep when the day has been called out by the sun

From the night 'cause the light's gonna shine on everyone

Why sleep when the sleep only closes up our eyes

Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise



We were meant to see the beginning of the day

I believe it was planned to lift us this way

Take you an apple and take you a song

And watch a baby day be born

Take you an apple and take you a song

Watch a baby day be born



Quite quite, said I that's all very well to say

But I rose before the dawn to your singing yesterday

I couldn't see the rising 'cause the dark was in my sky

I couldn't see the sun 'cause the sun was in my eye



Take you an apple and take you a song

Watch a baby day be born

Take you an apple and take you a song

Watch a baby day be born



Why sleep, I heard and I followed it today

To the top of the hill where the wind songs play

And I sing it like I heard it

Why I heard it who knows why?

Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise



We were meant to see the beginning of the day

I believe it was planned to lift us this way

Take you an apple and take you a song

Watch a baby day be born

Take you an apple and take you a song

Watch a baby day be born

Take you an apple and take you a song

Watch a baby day be born

Take you an apple and take you a song

Watch a baby day be born



Take you an apple and take you a song

Take back an answer to something gone wrong

Take back some music and take me along

And watch a baby day be born

Watch a baby day be born
