Over the hill you see
The middle of your day
And the sun says it's time
For you to go your way
Go and tell your mama
That you now know what to do
Her love will come in handy
She's always seen you through
But there's no one here to guide you
You got to do it by yourself
Minutes fail you day by day
And there's really nothing else
Where were you all morning
Dodging life inside your heart
Never daring face to danger
Then attack right from the start
Go and tell your daddy
He was right in what he said
'Cause the laws of independence
Don't apply until you're dead
And though you'd like him here to push you
'Cause you feel a need for help
Minutes fail you day by day
And there's really nothing else
How long must we live inside
Change that what you has to be
How long must we just sit by
When there's really nothing here
It's the middle of your day
Wake up to the middle of your day
Why don't you wake up
The middle of your day
