First Light Is Mine

Intro Morning on my side before the world wakes up Verse 1 I open both my eyes and the room is already warm There's a stripe of gold across the bed and the whole day is unborn Nothing has been spent yet nothing has been said I get the first word of the morning and I say it in my head Pre-Chorus And what I say is simple and I say it like it's true Chorus First light is mine first light is mine I take it like a coin and I spend it on my own Whatever comes at nine the first hour is mine I begin the way I want to and the day will follow me home Verse 2 I put my feet down on the floor and I stand up like a man who already knows the answer and is easy with the plan The kettle does its rising the window does its gold I am right on time for everything I'm exactly where I'm told Pre-Chorus And what I tell myself is what the day will do Chorus First light is mine first light is mine I take it like a coin and I spend it on my own Whatever comes at nine the first hour is mine I begin the way I want to and the day will follow me home Bridge Say it to the ceiling say it to the glass Say it till the saying turns to muscle, turns to mass The mind believes the mouth the body follows through So I speak it in the morning and the morning makes it true Chorus First light is mine first light is mine I take it like a coin and I spend it on my own Whatever comes at nine the first hour is mine I begin the way I want to and the day will follow me home Outro First light first word first hour mine
