Over the hill, you see
The middle of your day
And the Sun says, "It's time
ย
For you to go your way"
ย
Go and tell your momma
That you now know what to do
Her love will come in handy
She's always seen you through
ย
But there's no one here to guide you
You got to make it by yourself
Minutes fail you day by day
And there's really nothing else
ย
Where were you all morning?
Dodging life inside your heart
Never daring face the dangers
Then attack right from the start
ย
Go and tell your daddy
ย
He was right in what he said
That the laws of independence
Don't apply until you're dead
And you'd like him here to push you
'Cause you feel a need for help
ย
Minutes fail you day by day
And there's really nothing else
ย
How long must we live in fill
Worry 'bout tomorrow
ย
How long must we sit right here
Nothing but sorrow?
ย
Over the hill, you see
The middle of your day
And the Sun says, "It's time
ย
For you to find your way"
