Early in the morning Before the night has shed its coat of darkness And I remember how to be The one that everyone expects to see There's a certain light of innocence Before I put my solders on the line The border between love and fear As the world I left behind appears For a few short hours Everything is possible I forget the game and all the rules That hold my spirit in For a few short hours I remember who I really am In the colors of the rising sun Before the day begins For a few short hours Early in the morning Before I put my dreams away If I can put a pen to paper Or some colors on a canvas I surprise myself before the traffic fills The deserted empty streets Where the buyers and the sellers meet I love the inspiration For a few short hours Everything is possible I forget the game and all the rules That hold my spirit in For a few short hours I remember who I really am In the colors of the rising sun Before the day begins For a few short hours We all do what we have to do to get by But in the land between dreaming and the world I can fly For a few short hours Everything is possible I forget the game and all the rules That hold my spirit in For a few short hours I remember who I really am In the colors of the rising sun Before the day begins For a few short hours
