Lyrics
Intro:
As you slowly wake up and lift your head my child
I can't help but think of all the things you'll try
Here's some prayers to keep in mind...
Verse 1:
I pray while you're living your heart is giving
When life disappoints, that you're forgiving
Let love take things over its okay
And that you cope with
Tough accidents, sadness, sickness
People that make bad decisions
And when you're lost your compass shows the way
Good morning baby, the sun is smiling on your face
Good morning baby, I'm here by your side always
I pray you get up and stand, stick to your plans
When no one around, thinks that you can
Use your gifts and baby work those hands
Keep your ears wide open, words well spoken
Never let your truth be broken
Try and you'll find some that understand
Good morning baby, the sun is smiling on your face
Good morning baby, I'm here by your side always
Now Child sometimes life is what you imagine
and sometimes life is just what happens
When the darkness leads you astray
child that's when you walk by faith
Wear that...
Hair how you want it, clothes too but watch it
Respect Your body and health while you've got it
Be yourself and babe you'll be okay
But know this...
World is a playground, baby don't sit out
Every game play your little heart out
Get up from those falls along the way
Good morning baby, the sun is smiling on your face
Good morning baby,
you'll be happy every day you remember....
Wealth is how you love not riches
I pray your mind knows the difference
Own your mistakes, live your life free,
Your best's enough, no need to cheat
Know when to follow, when to lead
let that imagination breathe
And when y'helpin' out, I pray its sincere
'Cause love is why we're here
Good Mornin' Baby, Good Mornin' Baby
Whooooooooo
