These long, effortless days Have been quite the dream You loll You lay You're unlearned Take that veil off your eyes Tend to your son Hear his cries Wake up young boy It's time to be a man When that drummer starts beatin' It's your time to see the world As it comes, as it circles As your mind unfurls Life is a goldmine Don't worry about that coal Your stay has been pleasant But your nest is getting old Wake up young boy It's time to be a man Your eyes once squinted From peeking out the door Now reach out your good luck hand Pull your ship away from shore I see your legs are spinning But you're still sitting You're still static Soon we all aspire to something So don't you panic Wake up young boy It's time to be a man
