My luck's running out on me I try to catch it but I'm losing my breath The water is rising on me I've been swimming but I'm out of my depth With my back upon the canvas I can see the lights What a grand time to be alive I'll 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 ought to do more I feel a generational turn of the tide And it's to everybody's credit but mine I'll 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 ought to do more The world is gathered outside of my door And they're telling me I ought to do more I'll 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 ought to 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 ought to do more (First thing in the morning, I'm gonna make a change)
