E Am
Wake up and smell the coffee
Rise and shine, the early bird gets the worm
Strike while the iron’s hot, and whistle while you work

Stay on the trail
Keep your hands and arms inside the train
Don’t stray
Watch your step, and wipe your feet
Draw inside the lines

Am C
What if you didn’t know where the bad side of town was
Where would you wander to
So many places from which to choose
Would you let yourself [E] be

E Am
Don’t cause a scene, mind your manners, speak only if spoken to
You know what you are not to do
Watch and learn

Am C
What if you never were short for time
All meetings cancelled clocks stopped at nine
Without alarms the silence beams
Invited to [E] be

What if you never heard a word they say
And up were down and night were day
I bet you’d have a lot more time to play
If you’D let yourself [E] go [Am] [E] [Am]

E Am
Breathe deep, speak out, make up your mind, be brave, follow your dreams
Listen to your heart, close your eyes
Make a wish
