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 youll 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
