CHASING THE MORNING

Progressive roots reggae • island rock • soulful dub

[Intro — rolling bass / muted guitar / distant vocal]u

Hey-eh…

Ohhh…

Sun ain't up yet,

But I can feel it coming.

Yeah…

Woke up with the night still holding the sky,

Coffee getting cold and the moon hanging high.

There's a road outside saying, come with me,

So I threw open the door and I let myself breathe.

No map in my pocket, no place I gotta be,

Just a little bit of faith riding shotgun with me.

Yesterday's worries can stay where they lay,

I ain't carrying tomorrow through the middle of today.

Hear that rhythm rolling,

Like thunder underneath.

Something in this morning

Keeps calling out to me.

I'm chasing the morning, chasing the sun,

Living this life like it's already won.

Wind at my back and love in my soul,

Don't need everything when I've already got enough.

Let that bassline roll, let the whole thing breathe,

Got a little bit of heaven underneath my feet.

I don't know how many sunsets I'll see—

So I'm gonna love this one like it was made for me.

Whoa-oh-oh…

Made for me.

Whoa-oh-oh…

Wild and free.

I've been down where the cold wind blows,

Where you're asking God questions nobody knows.

I've watched good plans disappear overnight,

Then seen one little spark turn the darkness to light.

That's why I laugh when the warm rain falls,

Sing too loud when an old friend calls.

Stay too long when the fire burns bright,

And dance with the people that I love tonight.

Because someday all these ordinary things

Will be the memories we'd give anything—

Just to live one more time.

So turn that music louder,

Let the windows down.

If love is where we're headed,

We're already there right now.

I'm chasing the morning, chasing the sun,

Living this life like it's already won.

Wind at my back and love in my soul,

Don't need everything when I've already got enough.

Let that bassline roll, let the whole thing breathe,

Got a little bit of heaven underneath my feet.

I don't know how many sunsets I'll see—

So I'm gonna love this one like it was made for me.

Boom…

Leave the worry.

Boom…

Keep the lesson.

Boom…

Lose the hurry.

Count the blessings.

Not tomorrow.

Right now.

Not someday.

Right now.

Not when everything finally goes your way.

Right… now.

Father, when I lose my way,

Remind me what I have today.

These hands to give,

These lungs to breathe,

These people standing next to me.

And when my final sunset comes,

Don't measure me by what I've won.

Let my story simply say—

He gave more love than he took away.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh…

WE'RE CHASING THE MORNING, CHASING THE SUN,

Living this life like we've already won.

Hands in the air, let the old weight go,

Where this road ends, nobody knows.

LET THAT BASSLINE ROLL!

Let your whole heart breathe!

There's a little bit of heaven underneath
