Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You follow your feelings
You follow your dreams
You follow the leader
Into the trees
[Verse 2]
And what's in there waiting
Neither one of us knows
You gotta keep one eye open
The further you go
[Verse 3]
Yeah, you never dreamed you'd go down on one knee, but now
Who could've seen you'd be so hard to please, somehow?
[Verse 4]
You're just a poor boy
A long way from home
You're just a poor boy
A long way from home
[Verse 5]
And it's wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise
And shine
[Verse 6]
You spend your life dreaming
Running 'round in a trance
You hang out forever
And still miss the dance
[Verse 7]
And if you get lucky
You might find someone
To help you get over
The pain that will come
[Verse 8]
Yeah, you were so cool back in high school, what happened?
It was hard to find, you were the last on my mind to have your spirits down
[Verse 9]
And you're just a poor boy
Alone in this world
You're just a poor boy
Alone in this world
[Verse 10]
And it's wake up time
Time to open up your eyes
And rise
And shine
[Verse 11]
If you get lucky
A boy finds a girl
To help him to shoulder
The pain in this world
[Verse 12]
And if you follow your feelings
You follow your dreams
You might find the forest
There in the trees
[Verse 13]
Yeah, you're gonna be all right, it's just gonna take time, and now
Every bad day goes away somehow, some way, you'll find
[Verse 14]
That you're just a poor boy
A long way from home
You're just a poor boy
Alone in this world
[Verse 15]
And it's wake up time
It's time to open up your eyes
And rise
And shine
