Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Top of the morning
No, it's not a new day
But it's time to wake up
Yes, it's time to wake up
[Verse 2]
Did you ever wonder 'bout the world and the way we live?
Oh, the pieces of the puzzle, they don't seem to fit
The play seems okay 'cause the actors are paid
Pull the curtain away and reveal the real stage
[Verse 3]
One in every seven people on the planet doesn't have enough to eat
But somehow we just choose not to see
Try to keep it in perspective, saving all the unprotected
Still the people are neglected, we are all connected
[Verse 4]
I said, hey
You were free since the day that you came
Won't you take over the world today?
You can be anything that you want to be, oh-oh
[Verse 5]
I said, hey
You were free since the day that you came
Won't you take over the world today?
You can do anything that you want to do, oh-oh
[Verse 6]
And oh my God, water's what I can see through the fire
Got my own problems to be thinking of, yo, I am lost
Now don't even sweat it, oh, trust me, I get it
I'm not saying you should change the direction that you're headed for
[Verse 7]
Just asking you if you want to look into
How things are going and if we're really flowing?
With the population growing and the people more unknowing
Will this be our faith, will we all just be slaves?
[Verse 8]
I said, hey
You were free since the day that you came
Won't you take over the world today?
You can be anything that you want to be, oh-oh
[Verse 9]
I said, hey
You were free since the day that you came
Won't you take over the world today?
You can do anything that you want to do, oh-oh
[Verse 10]
Well, it's time to see the world in a different light
And we've gone way past survival, yes, we have thrived
We've got to see the world through alien eyes
Zoom out a little bit and take a look at our lives
[Verse 11]
I said, that way we can see all the beauty
The mountains and the seas, and all those creatures running free
Yeah, but the smartest of them all is living in captivity
Oh, something's going really wrong and it's not even funny
[Verse 12]
I said, hey
You were free since the day that you came
Won't you take over the world today?
You can be anything that you want to be, oh-oh
[Verse 13]
I said, hey
You were free since the day that you came
Won't you take over the world today?
You can do anything that you want to do, oh-oh
[Verse 14]
But I can see the sunshine
The sunshine
I can see the sunshine
The sunshine
[Verse 15]
I can see the sunshine
The sunshine
The sunshine
The sunshine
[Verse 16]
I can see the sunshine
The sunshine
