In a land far away not to far from here
Was a man who told me of stories so sincere
And in my early day I'd never forget
Just one simple phrase he said
And he'd say it all the time when we were young and wild
Sitting on the front porch cracking a smile
And I still remember it like it was yesterday
Those five words that he'd say
You got to pay attention
You gotta start looking all the time
You gotta start listening
To your heart and your mind
You gotta start feeling all
All the light in the world
And most of all
You got to pay attention
And now that I'm older and the time has passed me by
I still hear those little words deep down inside
And when I fall flat on my head
I just remember the words my grandpa said
You got to pay attention
You gotta start looking all the time
You gotta start listening
To your heart and your mind
You gotta start feeling all
All the light in the world
And most of all
You got to pay attention
And most of all
You got to pay attention
