| 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 |
