Surprise Sunrise

It's a...
Surprise
Surprise Sunrise
The world is waking up right before his eyes
It's been happening lately
It's driving him wild
It's 2:40 in the morning and he's wondering why

Burnt oranges and golds
Tiny fire in the distance.
The sun a hatching chick
Tap tapping on its shell.
The birds sing the morning chorus
They're not vocally warmed up yet
YOU SOUND LIKE TRASH, BIRDS!
YOU'RE TRASH, BIRDS!

It's a...
Surprise
Surprise Sunrise
He googles "what's with the sun?" and gets no results
It's been happening lately
It's driving him wild.
He doesn't live in Alaska so this shouldn't be happening.

The whole cul-de-sac stands crying in their PJs
Except for the old man just sittin' on his porch
The sprinklers say we can't start cause "we haven't made the water"
The paper boy throws papers that say "no news yet"

And the garbagemen go
Uhm... Should we just start now?

The rooster smokes a cig
Puts the red glove on his head
And says, "Um uh, is anyone planning on doing a coffee run?"
My neighbor Dale is in his underwear and says
"HEY! This is BS! I might have an interview today
And if i don't get my 12 hours i get angry! HEY!
You won't like me when I'm angry!"

It's a... surprise
Surprise Sunrise
Dale is super big, he's a former Marine.

In my daughters room now
An she's wide awake
My baby Sophie Moon
She's more magic than a

Surprise
Surprise sunrise

Before she was born
The old man on his porch said
"Kids become your whole world
Get ready to be tired.
It's the greatest!"

Surprise
Surprise Sunrise

Sophie starts to shut her eyes
Then the sun begins to sink.
Dale goes back inside
the old man looks at me and winks.
Then the boys sing!

She's a Small Girl Special
Put your binky's to the moon
To Sophie Moon!
She's a special small girl
And her name is Sophie Moon.
She loves her mama!

Shut the window too hard
Sophie is startled awake
And the sun shocks back in the sky!
Dale bursts through his screendoor
Then he trips on the worm and
Little Sophie Moon starts to cry!
Then it starts to rain
"HEY! MY UNDERWEARS ARE SOAKED!
NOW WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO WEAR TO THIS INTERVIEW
I MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE!!!!"

It's a... surprise
Surprise Sunrise
He's now seeing the world through his daughter's eyes
It's been happening lately
She drives me wild.
It's 2:40 in the morning
Sophie you're my sunshine
