Wake up in the morning, embrace a new day
It will be a great one, better make hay
Birds will be singing, the flowers in bloom
Open all the blinds, let the sun shine in the room
Smell the morning coffee, sitting on your patio
Read the morning paper, the birds put on a show
Listen really carefully and hear the stillness near
And know its God’s creation, never any fear
See the green leaves moving, slightly with the breeze
Watch the squirrels moving round with ease
Little critter crawling across the patio floor
Cobwebs have grown around the back door
Been a long time since I noticed the spirit of the land
Laid in the darkness long enough, couldn’t hear the band
Was dark and cold and lonely and really felt controlled
Until I realized I’d made myself in that mold
Now that I’ve embraced the morning, with God’s free gifts
I want to sing and yell and give everyone a kiss
It’s all free and easy and yet we make it so much work
To live God’s life and take Him up on all the perks
So get up every morning and sing along with the birds
Don’t lay around and wish for something so absurd
As boredom certainly will find you if there isn’t any risk
Get up, get moving, live your life like a passionate kiss
