Morning (a.m.)

[Verse 1: Justin Vernon]
Snow melted water
Falling from the roof onto the walk
The sound
Morning gives birth
To the first day of Spring
Greenness and solid ground (Uh)
Wake with the type of continence
Aware of my house and my family
My bed is where I sleep
But all around y’all is what I dream
And for me
Is what’s for you, it's what’s for me
And here’s my offering

[Spoken Word: Justin Vernon]
Thank you for listening to this
Introducing DJ Nate

[Verse 2: I.D.E.A. & (Justin Vernon)]
I said pain we will deliver
Comin’ to you by the way of front house speakers
(A brother) And his brother (Need to tell you very vain)
Leave you a song like a brush leaves its paint
(On a canvas, I’m crazy like Kurt Rambis)
(We make our own life)
(Like a homeless fire burning or a small world turnin’)
(We make our own site)
(It keeps us glistenin’, never listen, so we don’t need to fight)
(The message seems clear, when you steer away from here)
(We ain’t got nothin’ but lovers up in here)
(Beautiful peoples equals good cheer)
When I walk down the road, you can feel my heart
It’s pumpin’ to the beat of the rhythm I rhyme
On the 1 and 3’s, and the 2’s and 4’s
It’ll get ya’ jumpin’ off the floor
(Starve, borrow, ignore is the culture to the poor)
We always need more, as a matter of fact we keep score
(Me and Nate, we ain’t no Kenny Rogers gamblers)
No, we’re lookin’ towards Saturday like the Bay City Ramblers
(That’s all we never need is to be free)
Spread love with the simplest of things, that’s the key
(We have a home that we’ll forget never)
May the love flow and keep us together
In our town when you get us singin’ around
It could be a beautiful sound, good nature abound
And you could finally feel the potential
An Earth without a crown

[Spoken Word: Justin Vernon]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This feels so good

[Chorus: Justin Vernon & I.D.E.A.]
It’s alright, it’s okay
Nothin’ wrong with today
I don’t even care that I’m afraid, no
It’s alright, it’s okay
Nothin’ wrong with today
I don’t even care that I’m afraid, no

[Spoken Word: Justin Vernon]
Thank you to the true Hip-Hoppers
That told us all the truth like Jurassic 5

[Verse 3: I.D.E.A. & (Justin Vernon)]
(Always for the praise when I raise to the sun)
(It comes up to my face, I’m embracing the good life)
Green grass, basketball, long Summer days
But now I’m getting packed up for the next phase
(Keep absent of things applicable to my mind)
(I try to flow a clean river free of pesticides)
(I do like to see when people doin’ positive things)
(But I don’t need a plant to be kind)
Freedom can mean a limited kind of sight
You think ya’ flyin’ like a bird, but ya’ flyin’ like a kite
In control, I hope so, ya Pappa said so
Go, no? I don’t think so
You better detach, reattach, and blow up like a bomb
You can help straighten up the world by bein’ a good mom
(Be in control, you can’t be hook, line, and sinker)
If you wanna turn left, you gotta turn on your blinker
Flicker like a candle in the night
They can’t put you down, they ain’t got that right
(Set the stage of nature, the trees, the hills)
(Wisconsin Scoma fields and the sunlight)
(We’re like fresh, we’re fresh, and know the sky’s no business)
(And our true heart, true soul, no more, no less)
(We got John Prine bustin’ through the house)
(Makin’ us feel we can’t live life without)
A little humor analyzin’ the smile after 5
Thinkin’ the land that we grew up on, it’s so good to be alive
(Strive to think about yourself a little less)
To give back to the world, and give back its guests
There will be true to test to see if we can clean up this mess
(And realize we’re truly blessed)
That is our case (We rest)

[Spoken Word: Justin Vernon]
We rest
Thank you for listening to this record

[Chorus: Justin Vernon & I.D.E.A.]
It’s alright, it’s okay
Nothin’ wrong with today
I don’t even care that I’m afraid, no
It’s alright, it’s okay
Nothin’ wrong with today
I don’t even care that I’m afraid, no
It’s alright, it’s okay
Nothin’ wrong with today
I don’t even care that I’m afraid, no
It’s alright, it’s okay
Nothin’ wrong with today
I don’t even care that I’m afraid, no

[Instrumental/Electrical Keyboard Solo]

[Spoken Word: Justin Vernon]
Every time you wake up in the morning
I hope you feel like it’s sacred to you
