Why should I get up in the morning when I know it will be rough?
Why should I get up in the morning knowing the day will be tough?
Why should I roll out of bed just for a chance?
Why should I have to get out of bed when in bed it feels like a dance?
Why should I show up late when they'll sense my bluff?
Why do I do this to myself even if it feels like a trance?
I need to wake up
Wake up from the sleep that seems so sweet
Wake up to the people I need to greet
Wake up to reality that must be told
Wake up to my life that's beginning to unfold
Wake up which is what I need
Wake up which is what I'll succeed
Wake up and roll out of bed
Wake up and start to use my head
I need to wake up
What will my friends say when I show up?
What will they think when they see me?
Will they see me and fill up my cup?
Will they have smiles full of glee?
Will they be disappointed in me and their feelings blow up?
I'm going to stay in bed another day
