The morning lies heavy on my father
I couldn't find the time to fall asleep
And I couldn't stop from thinking, all the deeper
'Cause the morning lies heavy on me

They said I didn't have to be there 'till tomorrow
And there's friends of mine I've really got to see
But it's not goodbye and only soon to follow
And the moning lies heavy on me

Tell me, who's the one who fights until he's broken
Is it the man to in judgement on you all
I wouldn't care if it were their lives they were taking
But they don't listen or even answer to the call

And tomorrow I will be flying from the mainland
And joining in a new company
And some of us will never see our homeland
And the morning lies heavy on me

And what's left for decent people to believe in
It's not a question of to be or not to be
And what's the point, it's only us that we're deceiving
And the morning lies heavy on me

Tell me who's the one who fights until he's broken
Is it the man to sit in judgement on you all
I wouldn't care if it were their lives they were taking
But they don't listen or even answer to the call

The morning lies heavy on my father
I couldn't find the time to fall asleep
And I couldn't stop from thinking all the deeper
'Cause the morning lies heavy on me
