REACH UP
Words & Music © 1997 Roger Day
From the CD Rock ‘n’ Roll Rodeo

Some days I just want to stay in bed
Pull the covers on my head
And sleep another hundred years
Some days I just want to be like Rip Van Winkle
Snore my way through every storm and sprinkle
Till I hear my mother knock, knock, knocking on my door
She says get up don’t be a bore

Reach up stretch your fingers
Reach up put your hands up high
Reach up on your tip toes
Reach up til you touch the sky

Some days I don’t want to go to school
And learn some algebraic rule
I know I’ll never use again without a calculator
Some days I just want to close my eyes
Dream away the sunny skies
Til I hear my father calling to me soft and low
He says get up it’s time to go

Reach up stretch your fingers
Reach up put your hands up high
Reach up on your tip toes
Reach up til you touch the sky
