    Story Behind the Song
    The song was written over an extended period, I'd sort of dip into it from time to time so each verse has a different meaning. the main drive is about not always giving in to the lazy, it'll all turn out for the best, side of my personality. After playing the tune to the band while on holiday in southern USA, Rich pitched in with a great chorus melody just as I'd hit the creative brick wall, allowing the song to be finished soon after.

    Lyrics
    I can see through all the things you say to me but it doesn't stop me from wanting to see you. Don't you forget good advice I'm offering though it must be easy to simply ignore me. I wish that I was happy all of the time, your better off when you break away. Get up wake up don't dream your life away now you'd better take control while you still can do. Stand up speak up I want to hear you shout out why don't you make a stand and show me what you believe in. In the morning when I wake up read the paper turn on the radio as I'm leaving down my drive way thinking of you hoping I'll see you this day. It could be me might be anyone of us so don't hang your hopes on just one chance occurance.
