When my mornin' comes around, no one else will be there   so I won't have to worry about what I'm supposed to say   and I alone will know that I climbed that great big mountain   and that's all that will matter when my mornin' comes around      When my mornin' comes around, I will look back on this valley   at these sidewalks and alleys where I lingered for so long   and this place where I now live will burn to ash and cinder   like some ghost I won't remember   When my mornin' comes around      When my mornin' comes around, from a new cup I'll be drinking   and for once I won't be thinking that there's something wrong with me   and I'll wake up and find that my faults have been forgiven   and that's when I'll start living   When my mornin' comes around
