Why sleep when the day has been called out by the sun
F#m
From the night 'cause the light's gonna shine on everyone
A
Why sleep when the sleep only closes up our eyes
F#m D A
Why sleep when we can watch the sun a-rise
A
We were meant to see the beginning of the day
E A
I believe it was planned to lift us this way
D A D
Take you an apple and take you a song
A E A
And watch a baby day be born
D A D
Take you an apple and take you a song
A E A
And 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
