Lyrics

When to mor row comes, I’ll be on my own, feel ing fright ened of the things that I don’t know. When to mor row comes, to mor row comes, to mor row comes. And though the road is long, long I look up to the sky. And in the dark I found lost hope that I won’t fly, and I sing a lone, I sing a lone, then I sing a lone. I got all I need when I got you and I. I look a round me and see sweet life. I’m stuck in the dark, but you’re my flash light. You’re get ting me, get ting me through the night.
