Dave Matthews Band - Dive In Lyrics

Artist: Dave Matthews Band

Album: Big Whiskey And The GrooGrux King

Genre: Rock

I saw a man on the side of the road,
With a sign that read 'will work for food'.
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green.

Now I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning,
‘Cause their homes were turning to water.

A strange, kinda sad, big old bear,
Surely would happily eat me.
He'd tear me to pieces, that bear.

Wake up sleepy head,
I think the sun’s a little brighter today.
Smile, and watch the icicles melt away, and see the water rising,
Summer’s here to stay, and all those summer games will last forever.
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.

Tell me everything will be okay if I just stay on my knees and keep praying.
Believing in something,
Tell me everything is all taken care of,
By those qualified to take care of it all.

Wake up sleepy head,
I think the sun’s a little brighter today.
Smile, and watch the icicles melt away and see the waters rising,
Summer’s here to stay, and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever.
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.

One day, do you think we'll wake up in a world on its way to getting better?
And if so can you tell me,
How?

I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing,
The tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting.
Though we would like to believe we are, we are not in control,
Though we would love to believe.

Wake up sleepy head,
I think the sun’s a little brighter today.
Smile, and watch the icicles melt away and see the water rising,
Summer’s here to stay, and those sweet summer girls will dance forever.
Go down to the shore, kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.

    It actually has many references to the aftermath of Katrina and global warming.

    What an amazing song. It took a few listens to understand that this song was about complacency and wondering why things don't improve on their own . . .
