Lyrics

Oh, this is my story
For what it's worth
A little advice, you know, never hurts
This world is so cruel
I hope you know what I mean
You've got to keep on the move
Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream
Oh, you know, baby
Gotta keep it cool
You can be a big shot today
Tomorrow you're just a fool
Let's wake up, baby
I hope you know what I mean
I found out the hard way
Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream
I want everybody
Listen to what I have to say
When you get that good advice
Don't let it waste away
Take it from me, I know
Undeveloped minds don't mean a thing
We got to wake up, baby
Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream
You can think you're rich
All the time you're poor
You believe you got a big fine mansion
All the time it's a shack next door
You got to get on the move, baby
And your mind must be keen
Please believe me when I tell you
Nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream
