Lyrics

1. MORNING IS THE MERCY

Spring has come again, come in like a friend,
flowers in its arms as an offering.
Crying in the rain, laughing with the pain,
let it flow through and away from me.
Winds are going to blow, summer’s gonna show,
everything we know is an opening.

Every time I wake up, there’s a new day ahead.
I get the chance to live before I lay down my head.
When I’m wrestling with the weight of the world,
I can’t let it keep me down.
I won’t let it keep me down. I won’t let it bring me down.

Color’s in the air, change is everywhere,
embers in the ashes are glistening.
There’s no holding on, life is moving on,
offering a song that is lingering.

Every time I wake up, there’s a new day ahead.
I get the chance to live before I lay down my head.
When I’m wrestling with the weight of the world,
I can’t let it keep me down.
I won’t let it keep me down. I won’t let it bring me down.

Finding what is still, in the midst of the bitter chill.
Morning is the Mercy of Welcoming.
Everything we know is an opening.
Everything we know is an opening.

Every time I wake up, there’s a new day ahead.
I get the chance to live before I lay down my head.
When I’m wrestling with the weight of the world,
I can’t let it keep me down.
I won’t let it keep me down. I won’t let it bring me down.
Every time I wake up there’s a new day ahead.
Every time I wake up there’s a new day ahead.
