I've been traveling down this river
So many rocks pop up in my sight
I got to make some quick decisions
Should I go left or should I go right?
I pray for guidance and protection
It keeps my boat water-tight
And I know if I just keep on believing,
Every little thing's all gonna be alright
[Refrain]
And when I wake up in the morning
I hope I see you in the light
And when I wake up in the morning
I hope I see you in the light
And loveliness and tenderness
And happiness and openness
And togetherness and loveliness
Yeah, yeah
The vampires gather around me,
Angling to take a bite
They wanna drink my blood of courage
And try to take away my fight
But no, no, no, they can't do that
No, for one truth I learned in life
You want to scare away the vampires?
You simply guide them into the light
[Refrain]
In the morn, in the morning [x3]
In the morning
And when my time is done
I did some right, I did some wrong
Call my name to kingdom come
Spread my wings in flight
I hope that when my day is over
My love, I see you in the light, yeah
And when I wake up in the morning
I hope I see you in the light
And when I wake up in the morning
I hope, I hope, I hope I see you
In the morn, in the morning [x4]
Loveliness and tenderness
And happiness and openness
And togetherness and hopefulness
And happiness, yeah, yeah
