Da da da da da da,  da da da da da da



Why sleep when the day has been called out by the sun 

From the night 'cause the light's gonna shine on everyone 

Why sleep when the sleep only closes up our eyes 

Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise



We were meant to see the beginning of the day 

I believe it was planned to lift us this way 

Take you an apple and take you a song 

And watch a baby day be born 

Take you an apple and take you a song 

Watch a baby day be born 



Quite quite, said I that's all very well to say

But I rose before the dawn to your singing yesterday 

I couldn't see the rising 'cause the dark was in my sky 

I couldn't see the sun 'cause the sun was in my eye



Take you an apple and take you a song 

Watch a baby day be born 

Take you an apple and take you a song 

Watch a baby day be born 



Why sleep, I heard and I followed it today

To the top of the hill where the wind songs play 

And I sing it like I heard it 

Why I heard it who knows why?

Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise



We were meant to see the beginning of the day 

I believe it was planned to lift us this way 

Take you an apple and take you a song 

Watch a baby day be born

Take you an apple and take you a song 

Watch a baby day be born 

Take you an apple and take you a song 

Watch a baby day be born 

Take you an apple and take you a song 

Watch a baby day be born 



Take you an apple and take you a song 

Take back an answer to something gone wrong 

Take back some music and take me along 

And watch a baby day be born

Watch a baby day be born
