Morning Light / Takes A Beat Away

(album: Loss. Hope. Love. - 2022)

[Morning Light:]

A little hope
A clearing in the forest
A crack in the darkness
Where it used to feel so solid

A little green
Through the mud is showing
Pointing to the heavens
A sign that somethings growing

A little spark
A little air
A little glimpse
We're almost there

Coming out the other side
Stepping out into the morning light
Thinking of the ones we love
And the ones we lost

Coming out the other side
I'll make a wish before I sleep tonight
And pray that things will be alright
In the morning light

A little warmth
I feel it on my skin now
A little bit of sunlight
Sure does make a difference

Another day
But one little brighter
One that I can breathe through
And walk a little lighter

A little smile
A little care
A little joy
I'll see you there

Coming out the other side
Stepping out into the morning light
Thinking of the ones we love
And the ones we lost

Coming out the other side
I'll make a wish before I sleep tonight
And pray that things will be alright
In the morning light
In the morning light

Joy will bring me home
Joy will bring me home

Coming out the other side
Stepping out into the morning light
Thinking of the ones we love
And the ones we lost

Coming out the other side
I'll make a wish before I sleep tonight
And pray that things will be alright
In the morning light
In the morning light
The morning light
In the morning light

[Takes A Beat Away:]

The slightest glance
When he sends it my way
Goes right to my heart
Takes a beat away

A work of art
In this philistine's case
Goes right to my heart
Takes a beat away

I won't call it love
'Cause I know it won't stay
It's a glitch in the system
Too much coffee today

No, I won't call it love
Though it feels just the same
It goes right to my heart
Takes a beat away
Takes a beat away

And how many heartbeats do you get
Tell me how many heartbeats do you get
In a lifetime

The slightest glance
When he sends it my way
Goes right to my heart
Takes a beat away

Takes a beat away
