When my mornin' comes around, no one else will be there

so I won't have to worry about what I'm supposed to say

and I alone will know that I climbed that great big mountain

and that's all that will matter when my mornin' comes around



When my mornin' comes around, I will look back on this valley

at these sidewalks and alleys where I lingered for so long

and this place where I now live will burn to ash and cinder

like some ghost I won't remember

When my mornin' comes around



When my mornin' comes around, from a new cup I'll be drinking

and for once I won't be thinking that there's something wrong with me

and I'll wake up and find that my faults have been forgiven

and that's when I'll start living

When my mornin' comes around
