Wake Up

Wake up
And smell the coffee
Rise and shine
The early bird gets the worm
Strike while the iron's hot
And whistle while you work

Stay on the trail
Keep your hands and arms inside the train
Don't stray
Watch your step
And wipe your feet
Draw inside the lines

What if you didn't know where the bad side of town was
Where would you wander to?
So many places from which to choose
Would you let yourself be?

Don't cause a scene
Mind your manners
Speak only if spoken to
You know what you are not to do
Watch and learn

What if you never were short for time?
All meetings cancelled, clocks stopped at nine
Without alarms the silence beams
Invited to be

What if you never heard a word they say
And up were down and night were day?
I bet you'd have a lot more time to play
If you'd let yourself go

Breathe deep
Speak out
Make up your mind
Be brave
Follow your dreams
Listen to you heart
Close your eyes
Make a wish
