Wake Up Dreamer Lyrics by Graham Gouldman

Modesty Forbids

2020

When I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord to dig down deep inside my head
Every time I close my eyes
And see the light I realise what lays ahead
Should we laugh or should we cry
Say hello or wave goodbye
All I know all I can say
We can't go on this way
Wake up dreamer
Wake up
As we grow up our minds are made
The bigger picture starts to fade we're incomplete
We need to learn to understand
That mothers' milk from other lands is just as sweet
We must not bend we must not fail
Let peace and love and hope prevail
All I know all I can say
We can't go on this way
There's a man with a dog and he sits with his rod by the water
And he knows if he waits that a fish will appear when it oughta
We could learn to wish on a star
Or accept things just as they are
And let them be
Yeah
Even though we must accept
That doesn't mean we can't reject
Divisive creeds and false beliefs
'Cause love is all we need
Wake up dreamer
Wake up
Wake up dreamer
Wake up
