You gotta wake up      You don't commit to me, you won't make a start   You don't tell me, no, you haven't got the heart   You sit in a chair or you lie in bed   With a faraway stare and a swollen head      Well, listen here, my lover, I have had enough   And I can tell you, brother, I could fall in love   With someone who looks a lot like you   But gets up and does what he's thinking of      I can't wait another day   I can give and I can take   There's a choice you have to make      So many times things pass you by   Imagination running wild   You've got to start choosing right from wrong   Instead of daydreaming all day long      I want to catch a plane to an open space   I want to feel the sun shining on my face   But time is short and waiting is long   And my patience is exhausted   I'm just not that strong      I want to see the parade, you wanna watch TV   So we don't do either, it's insanity   You say there's plenty of time and life is good   So you never make your mind up   Well, you never could      I can ask you when or why   And you'll look up to the sky   The parade is marching by      So many times things pass you by   Imagination running wild   You've got to start choosing right from wrong   Instead of daydreaming all day long   Daydreaming, oh, oh, daydreaming, daydreaming      You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up      (Leave me alone, I'm only dreaming)   You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up   (Leave me alone, I'm only dreaming)   You gotta wake up, you gotta wake up   (I'm only dreaming)   Oh, oh      I can't wait another day   I can give and I can take   There's a choice you have to make, oh, oh      So many times things pass you by   Imagination running wild   You've got to start choosing right from wrong   Instead of daydreaming all day long      So many times things pass you by   Imagination running wild   You've gotta choose right from wrong   Instead of daydreaming all night long      (Daydreaming)   So many times   (Daydreaming)   Things pass you by      (Daydreaming)   You've gotta choose right from wrong   (Daydreaming)   All day long, all day long
