Yeah, you were so cool back in high school, what happened?
You spend your life dreaming, running 'round in a trace
You feel like a poor boy, a long way from home
You never dreamed you'd go down on one knee, but now
You gotta keep one eye open the further you go
And if you follow your feelings
And what's in there waiting, neither one of us knows
And it's wake up time
You're just a poor boy alone in this world
Yeah, you'll be alright, it's just gonna take time, but now
But you're just a poor boy alone in this world
To help him to shoulder the pain in this world
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
And rise and shine
It's time to open your eyes
You were so sure not to have your spirits dampened
And it's wake up time
And you follow your dreams
You hang out forever and still miss the dance
Time to open your eyes
Who could have seen you'd be so hard to please somehow
Who could have seen, you'd be so hard to please somehow
And rise and shine
You might find the forest there in the trees
And rise and shine
You're just a poor boy, a long way from home
And if you get lucky, you might find someone
'Cause it's wake up time
Time to open your eyes
To help you get over the pain that will come
Time to open your eyes
Well, if he gets lucky, a boy finds a girl
