Lyrics

I've been thinking about times to come and reminiscing, singing here comes the sun and I do believe tomorrow's gonna free the pain. Launch a pebble into a lake, watch it skipping as a ripple shake, we're going to the ocean, the world is a dripping wave. And when summer falls and springtime stalls and winter won't seem to fade, watching hours bending, fencing you in, working day to day. Trapped you in their schools, made you follow rules, and they take your dreams away. Grab a fishing pole and your bucket of stars, sail to the moon and cast away. Smile once and you'll break the spell, toss a penny and wish it well and tell it all the dreams you've hid away. Watch the branches dancing in the wind, with every sunrise another day begins, every morning and evening, the mirror of Eden and Grace. And when summer falls and springtime stalls and winter won't seem to fade, watching hours bending, fencing you in, working day to day. Trapped you in their schools, made you follow rules, and they take your dreams away. Grab a fishing pole and your bucket of stars, sail to the moon and cast away. I've been thinking about times to come and I've been feeling like I'm number one and I do believe tomorrow's gonna be the day.
