Name: Good Morning
Duration: P00H04M15S

lyrics

Hello, good morning, I’m awake and it’s a brand new day
I yawn, breathe in, breathe out the old stale air of yesterday
I’ve got a lot of pressing work that’s weighing down on me
Start up the coffee pot and drink up that liquid caffeine
I’m not that used to blowing out or getting second place
But when I do, I tell myself that it was their mistake
But I know that I’m living by the phrase “In God We Trust”
I guess I just confuse the god in me for God above

Chorus:
New ideas give lift for flight
Truths that almost never lie
Pushing ahead through clouds we'll fly
Chasing the wind, we'll reach new heights

Throw all you’ve got at me, I’ll take it and I’ll take a stand
Just make sure that you notice how invincible I am
Ambitions, slight or burning, all are conquered and obeyed
And when the storm is done my fortress feels like palisade
But give me problems and I’ll solve them and I’ll make it right
As long as windmills charge, I’ll keep wake and breathe deep the night
Of course, all attribution to the Apophatic One
An apathetic nod to Him whose depths I’ve yet to plumb

Purpose-driven to a fault
Climbing the ladder to the secret vault
Siren songs lead ever on
Turning my phrase, I'll answer the call

Nothing I say will matter anyway
All my working days will slowly fade away
Words in disarray spill out and then decay

But I'll never get enough, never get enough

Hello, good morning, I'm awake and it's a brand new day
I'm breathing in the breath of life You gave that never fades
Your living water and Your grace washes all my doubts clean
Your mercy goes farther than my will could ever take me
Despite all my mistakes that led me beyond second place
You've given me a hope and life beyond my own rat race
Make all the work I do be ever pleasing in Your sight
Lord, help me feel it, mean it, love it, live it, do it right
