Dawn wakes the silence,
of a fainted lullaby
day breaks the eyelid,
from a song sung in my eye
Night rests in peace,
as the sun mourns the sky
all's accounted for sheep,
over a horizon's i
Rise, rise 'n shine
a new day is coming
rise, rise in time
for everything under the sun
And when you see,
a south wind blow
forecasting, you will know,
a hot day, will be on the way
(foolish one)
you analyze,
the earth and the sky
i ask you why,
you can't analyze the signs,
of the present time
I had a dream,
not unlike the one from old
of a man king,
whose head was made of gold
stand castles of sand
weather the sundials rise 'n fall
chasing wind through your hands,
'til water runs dry the well
Dream, daniel, dream
for what's yet to come
see, daniel, see
for everything under the sun
And in the west,
a cloud appears
for shadows of
a coming shower near,
oh, so near
(hypocrites)
you analyze,
the earth and the sky
i ask you why,
you can't analyze the signs,
of the present time
Vanity,
yes, all is vanity
vanity,
yes, all's futility
For one that dies,
another's born
where laughter's heard,
comforters mourn
there's a time for
everything
A song for love,
even abhor
an olive branch,
or winter's war
there's a time for
everything, under the sun
i'm tired of being me,
and i don't like what i see,
i'm not who i appear to be
so i start off every day,
down on my knees i will pray,
for a change in any way
but as the day goes by,
i live through another lie,
if it's any wonder why
Am i ever gonna change
will i always stay the same
if i say one thing,
then i do the other
it's the same old song,
that goes on forever
am i ever gonna change
i'm the only one to blame
when i think i'm right,
i wind up wrong
it's a futile fight,
gone on too long
Please tell me if it's true,
am i too old to start anew,
cause that's what i want to do
but time and time again,
when i think i can,
i fall short in the end
so why do i even try,
will it matter when i die,
can anyone hear my cry?
Am i ever gonna change
take it day by day
my will is weak
and my flesh too strong
this peace i seek
till thy kingdom comes
tell me, jesus,
are you angry?
one more sheep has,
just gone astray
a hardening of hearts,
turning to stone
wandering off,
so far from home
so many children,
losing time
walk in darkness,
looking for a sign
chasing their rainbows,
the future looks so bright
slowly we're losing,
sight of the light
Who cares?
who cares?
who cares?
tell me who cares?
who cares?
All alone,
out in the cold
can't look back,
am i growing old
i chose a path,
is this my fate
am i finding out,
the truth too late
[chorus]
Here i am,
a naked man
nothing to hide
with empty hands
remember me,
i am the one
who lost his way,
your prodigal son
Who cares?
who cares?
who cares?
tell me who cares?
who cares?
Am i ever gonna change
will i always stay the same
say one thing
then i do the other
same old song
goes on forever
rise, rise 'n shine
a new day is coming
yes it is!
