This song was written as a couple of guitar pieces by "Chainsaw" and Joel and Chainsaw strung them together one night and in a few hours put down a tune. Joel knocked out the keys in one sitting. Robert did the drums in one take also. DaveT hadn't joined the band yet so Joel also did the bass one afternoon. Kris later wrote the lyrics on one of her song Benders, not to be confused with a Big Bender. However, we've been known to go on those too.
Lyrics
Sun's up and rising high
why let the day go by
when you've got the whole
world on a platter
Good things are happen'n
all over,
all over
can't you see it?
can't you feel it?
Say bye to all your care
toss it into the air
and watch it fizzle
around ... all around, all around you
there's a fork in the road you should take it
Pick a direction I know you can make it
open your eyes for your own survival
let's take a walk through a real revival
Pumped up and going strong
no one can say it's wrong
When you feel like this
I want to be with you
and it's happen'n
all over
all over
I can see it
I can feel it
Yeah!
cool breezes on your horizon
life's good where's there's no surprise
just take a dip in your deep blue ocean
Can't you feel everything's in motion
don't deny that you love this feeling
when your mind consents to reeling...
Moon's up and rising high
why let the night go by
when you've got your whole life
right before you
Good things are happen'n
all over,
all over
can't you see it?
can't you feel it?
Yeah
yeah....
hey...hey...hey
there's a fork in the road you should take it
Pick a direction I know you can make it
open your eyes for your own survival
let's take a walk through a real revival
don't deny that you love this feeling
when your mind consents to reeling...
sun's up and risen high
don't let the day go by....
Can't you feel it..
