Just So

Black turns beamy bright
Turning on the light
Today is gonna be the day
you hear somebody say we need you wide awake
Tiptoe over the floor
What are you waiting for?
So so and no more
that's all to be sorry for
Today is gonna be the day
you hear somebody say we need you wide awake
You hear the moments kick and play
the order of the day is hollering your way
The window shade, the nursing aide
to let it all just work the way
From head to toe
a shadow grows since forever and a day
Quiet moments hum
but some do you wrong
Today is gonna be the day
you hear somebody say we need you wide awake
No time for tea or lemonade
someone has set the date
we're only half the way
Drink a toast to the sun
to the things that never come
to the break of a day
That is all I say
