My luck's running out on me
I try catch up but I'm losing my breath
The water is rising on me
I've been swimming but I'm outta my depth

And my back upon the canvass
I can see the lights
What a grand time to be alive
I rest my head

First thing in the morning
I'm gonna make a change
First thing in the morning
I'm gonna make a change

The world is gathered outside of my door
And they're telling me I oughta do more

I feel a generational turn of the tide
And it's to everybody's credit but mine
I rest my head

First thing in the morning
I'm gonna make a change
First thing in the morning
I'm gonna make a change

The world is gathered outside of my door
And they're telling me I oughta do more
The world is gathered outside of my door
And they're telling me I oughta do more

I rest my head

First thing in the morning
I'm gonna make a change
First thing in the morning
I'm gonna make a change

The world is gathered outside of my door 
(First thing in the morning I'm gonna make a change)
And they're telling me I oughta do more 
(First thing in the morning I'm gonna make a change)
The world is gathered outside of my door 
(First thing in the morning I'm gonna make a change)
And they're telling me I oughta do more 
(First thing in the morning I'm gonna make a change)
