Woke Up This Morning
Welcome to another day in my paradise
I open my bedroom window and sometimes
I hear many voices in perfect harmony
the river singing like a choir of angels
Looking for angels from morning to sunset
to steal their wings when they're not looking
I want to be free like I used to be
before I came on to this stage feigning so many roles
Time flies with every breath every thought every moment
With a kiss he was betrayed all his friends deserted him
Innocent crucified like a common criminal in his dying breath
His revenge he forgave us
But I see poetry in your eyes
I see the blue sky in your eyes
and I will apologise for who I am
failure seems to follow me wherever I go
trips me when I least expect it
I try to hold on to the right words but it's like grabbing air
Time flies with every breath every thought every moment
same old story always in reruns
Looking for angels from morning to sunset
to steal their wings when they're not looking
I want to be free like I used to be
Woke up this morning
I hear many voices of a river singing like a choir of angels
Welcome to another day in my paradise
