The Morning Lies Heavy
The morning lies heavy on me, father
I couldn't find the time to fall asleep
And I couldn't stop from thinking on it either
And the morning lies heavy on me
They said I wouldn't have to be there 'til tomorrow
And there are friends of mine I've really got to see
But it's not goodbye I know they're soon to follow
And the morning lies heavy on me
And tell me who's the one who fights until he's broken
Is it the men who sit in judgment on us all
I wouldn't care if it was their lives they were taking
But they don't listen or even answer to the call
And tomorrow I'll be flying from the mainland
And joining in a new company
Some of us will never see our homeland
And the morning lies heavy on me
And what's left for decent people to believe in
It's not a question of to be or not to be
And what's the point it's only us that we're deceiving
And the morning lies heavy on me
And tell me who's the one who fights until he's broken
Is it the men who sit in judgment on us all
I wouldn't care if it was their lives they were taking
But they don't listen or even answer to the call
The morning lies heavy on me, father
I couldn't find the time to fall asleep
And I couldn't stop from thinking on it either
And the morning lies heavy on me
