when morning calls
freedom falls
in halls of
bright blue skies shine;
someone calls
and all is fine
the fireball cries
someone calls
to say good-bye;
hearts beat between choices!
a hero’s fight between choices!
wife, mother
husband, father
brother, sister
daughter, son
good morning!
the sun kisses all
the sun kisses us all!;
when morning shone
we went about
without doubt, when we awoke
we’d see each other by dinner;
so we Dropped the kids off at school
hugged them and kissed them
and couldn’t wait for
cartoon popcorn movie night;
when morning calls
freedom falls in halls
bright blue skies shine
someone calls and all is fine
fireball cries
someone calls to say good-bye
hearts beat between choices
through the smoke of confusion
he saw her eyes shining in flashback
the way her hand-held his
oh! when morning calls
freedom falls
in halls
of bright blue coloured skies shine;
someone calls and all is fine
fireball cries
and someone calls to say good-bye
hearts beat between choices
in last morning coffee sip
a last goodbye kiss
did we argue? did we make love?
a last hug embrace
a last good morning joking;
when morning calls
freedom falls in halls
of bright blue skies shine
someone calls and all is fine;
a fireball cries
someone calls to say good-bye
hearts beat between choices
broken in a hero’s glass
dreams brake and fall fast….
hearts beat between choices!
a hero’s fight between choices!
but the sun always kisses us good morning
