You follow your feelings, you follow your dreams  You follow the leader into the trees  And what's in there waiting, neither one of us knows  You gotta keep one eye open the further you go  You never dreamed you'd go down on one knee, but now  Who could have seen, you'd be so hard to please somehow  You feel like a poor boy, a long way from home  You're just a poor boy, a long way from home    (Chorus)  And it's wake up time  Time to open your eyes  And rise and shine    You spend your life dreaming, running 'round in a trace  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 you're just a poor boy alone in this world  You're just a poor boy alone in this world    (Chorus)    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, you'll be alright, it's just gonna take time, but now  Who could have seen you'd be so hard to please somehow  You're just a poor boy alone in this world  You're just a poor boy alone in this world    (Chorus)    'Cause it's wake up time  It's time to open your eyes  And rise and shine
