Morningside

Am I a fool at this late date

To heed a voice that says,

You can be great

I heard it young, now I hear it again

It says, you can be better than you've ever been

Chorus:

Don't want to waste what I have to give

In all of the time that I've left to live

Don't want to waste what I have to give

In any of the time that I've got left

I can do more than I thought I could

Work brings more luck than knocking on wood

There's random bad and random good

Work brings more good luck

You ask the world

And the world says, no

It's the world's refrain

Mine says, go

You ask the world

And the world says, no

It's an old world refrain

Mine says, go

Chorus:

Don't want to waste what I have to give

In all of the time that I've left to live

Don't want to waste what I have to give

In any of the time that I've got left

I can do more than I thought I could

Work brings more luck than knocking on wood

There's random bad and random good

Work brings more good luck

Better be off

I've got dreams to dream

Though it seems uphill and a little extreme

If I can find hope in this fading light

Then I'll find you on the morningside
