Lyrics

I saw a man on the side of the road with a sign that read will work for food Try to look busy until the light turns green Now I saw a bear on T.V And his friends were all drowning Because their homes were turning to water Strange kinda sad big old bear and I'm sure he would happily eat me He'd tear me to pieces out there Wake up you sleepyhead I think the sun's a little brighter today Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising Summer's here to stay and all those summer games will last forever Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes Dive in the empty ocean Tell me everything will be okay If I just stay on my knees and keep praying 'Lieving in something Tell me everything is all taken care of By those qualified to take care of it all Wake up you sleepyhead I think the sun's a little brighter today Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising Summer's here to stay and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes Dive in the empty ocean One day you think we'll wake up in a world on its way to getting better And if so, can you tell me how I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing The tourniquet's not keeping hold in spite of our twisting Though we would like to believe we are We are not in control Though we would love to believe Wake up you sleepyhead I think the sun's a little brighter today Smile and watch the icicles melt away and see the water's rising Summer's here to stay and those sweet summer girls will dance forever Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes Dive in the empty ocean
