This morning I went straight to the mountain
and there I rose from sleep
to the pounding of a thousand hearts
dancing light on their feet.
I walked on my hands, spun on my head
and puffed away away my sins.
I’d stepped barefoot from my bed
right into ducking juggling pins.
-CHORUS
Rise and shine sleepyhead!
Up and at ’em, out of bed
the day is anew!
And Love’s been looking for you!
Rub your eyes, you got something to do,
you’re a miracle boy.
How could I have been so afraid?
So lost inside myself.
How could the sun shine so today
like there’s Love and nothing else?
I’ve been broke so many ways
that whatever I hold just spills.
But, just maybe, like the morning rays
of sun across the hills.
–
I lost inside my head
but then life pulled me right from bed,
“You’re just asleep. You are not dead
and like momma always said….”
