Lyrics

Over the hill you see The middle of your day And the sun says, "It's time For you to go your way" Go and tell your mama That you now know what to do Her love will come in handy She's always seen you through But there's no one here to guide you You got to do it by yourself Minutes fail you day by day And there's really nothing else Where were you all morning? Dodging life inside your heart Never daring face to danger Then attack right from the start Go and tell your daddy He was right in what he said 'Cause the laws of independence Don't apply until you're dead And though you'd like him here to push you 'Cause you feel a need for help Minutes fail you day by day And there's really nothing else How long must we live inside? Chains that anchors us to fear How long must we just sit by? When there's really nothing here It's the middle of your day Wake up to the middle of your day Why don't you welcome? The middle of your day
