Wake up one morning you realize
Your life is one big compromise (compromise)
Stuck in the job you swore was only temporary (was only temporary)

Feel like the world is passing you by
Never done all the things you would need to try
Stuck in one place, got a pain in your face from all your stressin' out

You ask yourself there's got to be more than what I'm living for
(What I'm living for, what I'm living for)
You ask yourself there's got to be something else, something more, more, more

Well, let the sun shine on your face
And don't let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Feel like there's nothing, nowhere to go
You try and fight but you can't let go
Roll the pain, got so much to gain
Now is the time

You ask yourself there's got to be something else, something more, more, more

Let the sun shine on your face
And don't let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

You ask yourself there's got to be more than what I'm living for
(What I'm living for, what I'm living for)
You ask yourself there's got to be something else, something more, more, more

Well, let the sun shine on your face
And don't let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Let the sun shine on your face
And don't let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you

Let the sun shine on your face
And don't let your life go to waste
Now is the time, got to make up your mind
Let it shine on you, let it shine on you
