I've been traveling down this river
So many rocks pop up in my sight
I got to make some quick decisions
Should I go left or should I go right?

I pray for guidance and protection
It keeps my boat water tight
And I know if I just keep on believing
Every little thing's all gonna be alright

And when I wake up in the morning
I hope I see you in the light
And when I wake up in the morning
I hope I see you in the light

And loveliness and tenderness
And happiness and openness
And togetherness and loveliness
Yeah, yeah

The vampires gather around me
Angling to take a bite
They wanna drink my blood of courage
And try to take away my fight

But no, no, no, they can't do that
No, for one truth I learned in life
You want to scare away the vampires
You simply guide them into the light

And when I wake up in the morning
I hope I see you in the light
And when I wake up in the morning
I hope I see you in the light, yeah

In the morn, in the morning
In the morn, in the morning
In the morn, in the morning
In the morning

And when my time is done
I did some right, I did some wrong
Call my name to kingdom come
Spread my wings in flight

I hope that when my day is over
My love I see you in the light, yeah
And when I wake up in the morning
I hope I see you in the light

And when I wake up in the morning
I hope, I hope, I hope I see you

In the morn, in the morning
In the morn, in the morning
In the morn, in the morning
In the morn, in the morning

Loveliness and tenderness
And happiness and openness
And togetherness and hopefulness
And happiness, yeah, yeah
