[Verse 1] I woke up from a bad dream
The sun is peeking through the tall palm trees
I still ain't got no money
But the opportunity is all around me
Give a little and get a lot
Now go build the life you truly want

[Chorus] Go chase your paradise into the waves
This tide will carry you, don't run away
Light a fire that burns through the whole night
You will shine brighter than the sunrise

[Verse 2] You woke up from a daydream
Faking a smile just to show your teeth
While stars are fading fast and crack beneath your feet
Close your eyes and use your head
I'm not wasting my time wondering

[Chorus] Go chase your paradise into the waves
This tide will carry you, don't run away
Light a fire that burns through the whole night
You will shine brighter than the sunrise
Dive right in, stop coasting through your own life
Learn to value your time

[Bridge] I'm narrowing the gap between me and my fears
They're growing near
Like tattered sails on my horizon
I've used my voice to make a better life
I found the strength inside
'Cause life is what happens
When you're too afraid to climb

[Chorus] Go chase your paradise into the waves
This tide will carry you, don't run away
Light a fire that burns through the whole night
You will shine brighter than the sunrise
Dive right in, stop coasting through your own life
Learn to value your time
