The morning lies heavy on me, father I couldn't find the time to fall asleep And I couldn't stop from thinking on it either And the morning lies heavy on me
They said I wouldn't have to be there 'till tomorrow And there's friends of mine I've really got to see But it's not goodbye, I know there's soon to follow And the morning lies heavy on me
Tell me, who's the one who fights until he's broken Is it the men who sit in judgement of us all I wouldn't care if it was their lives they were taking They don't listen nor even answer to the call
And tomorrow I'll 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 men who sit in judgement of us all I wouldn't care if it was their lives they were taking But they don't listen nor even answer to the call
The morning lies heavy on me, father I couldn't find the time to fall asleep And I couldn't stop from thinking on it either And the morning lies heavy on me
