Midnight Oil

When the night has burned away

Don’t hide away, don’t fade away

You have to face a brand new day

Your time will come, if not today

Misunderstandings caused the pain

Pride ain’t worth it, don’t hide behind it

Say exactly what you want to say

Your time will come, Get out and find it

And now the tide is turning

The midnight oil is burning

The reasons were here from the start

But I didn’t see them, I never see them

It has to come from the heart

Feel your way, be swept away

And now the tide is turning

The midnight oil is burning

Now I would like to say to you

I been there, I been there too

Gotta get out, get outta the rain

Take cover from it, don’t make your own pain

And now your mind is learning

The midnight oil is burning

The wheels they keep on turning

Ignore all other yearning

Don’t wait for your life to slow down

Make sure you got the lowdown

Get out, get outta your town

Don’t stay and wear yourself down,

Right now
