I woke up from a bad dream The sun is peeking through the tall palm trees I still ain't got no money But the opportunity is all around me Give a little and get a lot Now go build the life you truly want Go chase your paradise Into the waves This tide will carry you Don't run away Light a fire That burns through the whole night You will shine Brighter than the sunrise You woke up from a day dream Faking a smile just to show your teeth While stars are fading fast and crack beneath your feet Close your eyes and use your head I'm not wasting my time wondering Go chase your paradise Into the waves This tide will carry you Don't run away Light a fire That burns through the whole night You will shine Brighter than the sunrise Dive right in Stop coasting through your own life Learn to value your time I'm narrowing the gap between me and my fears They're growing near Like tattered sails on my horizon I've used my voice to make a better life I found the strength inside Cause life is what happens when you're Too afraid to climb Go chase your paradise Into the waves This tide will carry you Don't run away Light a fire That burns through the whole night You will shine Brighter than the sunrise Dive right in Stop coasting through your own life Learn to value your time
