Night/Day

I've been dreaming such a long time
And I've been waiting for the sunshine
But all my friends they say I'm getting by with sleeping in
They say I'm sleeping in
You know whenever I try I want to get it right
But I distract my focus and blur my own sight
?Cause I've convinced myself that my best can only come in the moonlight
And I keep sleeping in
I keep on sleeping in
And missing something
(Close your eyes before the daylight breaks)
There are things about me I just can't ignore
I know I want to change and I see that door
On the other side daylight decides there will be war with sleeping in
Oh, I know they'll be no more sleeping in
I wait, I wait, I wait only in jest
I wait, I wait, I wait with no need to rest I wait
?The day, the day, the day will come again,? I say
A ray of light can only get in if I say
I've been putting off this purification a rebirth
and a regeneration inside of me
And I've been saying ?no? for far too long
even though something brand new is coming out of me
I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning and then decide
I'm going to wake up, wake up every morning and make it mine
Rain or shine
I wake, I wake, I wake and greet the day
The light is on the change is made I can see my way
The day, the day, this day has come again
Each ray of light will make its way into the core of me
I always knew that I was missing something
I know this time that I will leave nothing up to chance
And in the wake of this brand new day I see the light
and I feel the sun and I'll do it all again tomorrow
