Good Morning Demon

Good Morning Demon

 

Good morning Demon
You know that little bird
Flew in through my window
Demanding to be heard
I can feel your tiny wings
Beating on my breast
Oh, you have stolen my sweet rest
You have stolen my sweet rest

 

When I was a little girl my daddy said to me,
“Life is not a gentle stream, it’s a wild and raging sea
Here’s your paddle, here’s your boat
And seeds to plant for food
Now go forth and see what you can do
Go forth and see what you can do.”

 

Good morning demon…

 

I said, “Daddy, dear Daddy, please tell me what to do
Won’t you give me some answers and a guarantee or two
It all looks so rough and risky
Just as far as I can see
Won’t you protect me from calamity?
Please protect me from calamity.”

 

He said, “Daughter, darling daughter, please take this tip from me
You can wish all you want, but there are no guarantees
You wake up every morning
Never knowing what’s to come
And it goes on this way until your race is won
It goes on this way until you race is won”.

 

Good morning demon…
