Wake Up

(album: In Flight - 2023)

Wake up, I'm coming up
Did you get through the night?
Did the room start to spin
The walls go upside down?

Wake up, I'm coming up
The storm is out of sight
How about we go downstairs, put the kettle on?
Lemon or mint, whatever's kicking around

You hold it down when I'm not around
I never asked you how you're holding on up
You put in full days and who heard you say
Never complained once that you've had enough

Wake up, I'm coming up
To carry the load today
I'm bringing my pickup truck
Drive your cares away

Wake up, I'm coming up
Bringing my pickup truck
Let's get on down to the lake
Maybe there's a path to take
And pick up some skipping stones

You hold it down when I'm not around
I never asked you how you're holding on up
You put in full days and who heard you say
Never complained once that you've had enough

You were the first in line, the first on time
Make it easy to get right
You see it all, but if you fall
Who will answer when you call?
