As the dawn begins to break
I prod myself to see if I'm awake
And the fawn of early day
Has let me know again that I can stay

When I wake up in the morning after sleeping in the night
I can hear the echoes of the night before
And I only hope that I can hear some more when tomorrow comes

As the dawn begins to break
I prod myself to see if I'm awake
And the fawn of early day
Has let me know again that I can stay

When I wake up in the morning after sleeping in the night
I can hear the echoes of the night before
And I only hope that I can hear some more when tomorrow comes

When I get up in the morning after laying down all night
When it's good, then I can run for many miles
When it's bad, then I can hardly raise a smile
And man, I like to smile
Whoa-oh
When I get up in the morning

When the dawn begins to break
When the dawn begins to break
When the dawn begins to break...
