Lyrics
MONDAY MORN
Writers: Johnelle J. Scoutten and Jerry Lee Surber
Copyright 2007 All Rights Reserved
FEELIN SAFE...AND DOIN FINE
SITTIN ROUND SHARIN BREAKS
CRACKIN BOOKS...MAKIN TIME
WITH MIDDAY NAPS...STUDYIN LATE
BUT TIME STOOD STILL...ON MONDAY MORN
WHEN INNOCENCE DIED......FEAR WAS BORN
IF I COULD BE YOUR ARMOR
IF I COULD HAVE MY WAY
I'D TAKE A STAND...AND BEAR IT ALL
TO SAVE YOU FROM THAT DAY
BUDDING LOVE...AND CAMPUS WALKS
TESTS AND PAPERS...QUIET HOURS
DANCES..PARTIES..COFFEE TALK
AND ALL AROUND...VIRGINIA FLOWERS
BUT TIME STOOD STILL...ON MONDAY MORN
WHEN THE WORLD...ALL AROUND YOU...TURNED SO CRAZY
IF I COULD BE YOUR ARMOR
I'D CHOOSE THAT VERY DAY
TO TAKE A STAND...AND FIRE IT BACK
AND KEEP YOU FROM HARM'S WAY
I'D BRING MY OWN...CONCEALED BE DAMNED
SO WRITE ME UP TODAY
WE'LL SEE WHO WINS...ONE ON ONE
WHEN I GET IN THE WAY
BUT TIME MOVES ON...FROM THAT STORM
WHEN CHILDREN CRIED...AND LOVED ONES MOURNED
ON MONDAY MORN
REMEMBER FAMILY..LOVERS AND FRIENDS
AND HOLD THEM TIGHT
AND SAY A THOUGHTFUL PRAYER...FOR THEM TONIGHT
CAUSE...IF I COULD'VE BEEN YOUR ARMOR
IF I COULD'VE HAD MY WAY
I'D HAVE STOOD RIGHT THERE BESIDE YOU
ON THAT FATEFUL DAY......
MONDAY MORN......MONDAY MORN
MONDAY MORN......MONDAY MORN
