I miss the days when I would wake up
And not care about the news
Nothing to make me anxious
Just a list of chores to do
And at the end of the week
Grandpa would take me
We'd go fishing
And he'd say
Boy, you're gonna catch one
It's just a matter of time
Can't expect to get sun
If you don't rise and shine
And you won't catch any fish
If you don't wet your line
When you look forward to each and every day
You'll see there's a better way
There'll come a time in your life
When I won't be around
You can call me on the phone
But I won't make a sound
When you can't find the reason why
Just look up at the sky
And we'll go fishing
And I'll say
Boy, you're gonna catch one
It's just a matter of time
Can't expect to get sun
If you don't rise and shine
And you won't catch any fish
If you don't wet your line
When you look forward to each and every day
You'll see there's a better way
You'll see there's a better way
You'll see there's a better way
