When morning comes

Wake me up when morning comes

Before the break of day

Leave all my haunted dreams behind

And bury them by the way

Guide me on the way that's left

For me to walk down here on earth

And please keep me keen and open eyed

And let my voice be heard

Let me be able to listen thoroughly

To all the things that you might have to say

Make my nerves as sensitive

As it takes to understand your way

I admit I’ve doubted you for so many years

I was incapable to trust in you

And that’s why I missed so many years

While there where a lot of things to do

When desperation kept me barred

Behind its concrete prison wall

I was not able to listen to a single word

And that’s why I could not hear your call

Forgive me, love, that I was deaf and blind

Filled to the brim with hate

I can’t deny that I did you many wrong

I can’t deny the many things I destroyed

Now while I look back and watch these ruins

My heart is flooded with regret

Though I tried so hard to do some good

Instead I worked on the mess I’ve made

I know it might be hard for you to bear

My wish to take me home

But I could not live with the lack of hope

For some better years left to come

So please wake me up when morning comes

Way before break of day

Don’t let me lie behind beside the road

While you move on along your way

Show me the morning star, the sparkling sun

I wandered long in a starless night

Ban the sadness from my mind

Fill my eyes and soul with light

So again, please wake me up when morning comes

Way before break of day

Don’t let me lie behind beside the road

While you move on along your way.
