Description“Morning Light” to me is a trio of yellow, black and white which eerily reminds me of the bee on the cover of this record. I’ve been told my whole life this is called synesthesia, but to me, this is something I believe everyone has to an extent. We all live inside a lifelong mental and spiritual battle of sorts in choosing to believe that we are alright when the noise and “the voice” in its cunning way attempts to tell us otherwise. The noise of your future, the noise of your past, the noise of the right here and now. This song is about shedding light onto that darkness of the mind that is trying to shadow and drown the colors that give day-to-day life its beauty. A bit of a mantra: lean into the colors, silence the voice.

Lyrics[Verse 1]
Morning light, morning light
Get your sight, get your mind
Onto pretty thinking
See the trees, swaying trees, falling leaves
Everything's nice and got you feeling

[Chorus]
That you could finally know something beautiful
To be what you could be, be what you were born for
To be alright, be alright, but then the noise, then the voice
Cunning, telling you to stop, 'cause you are not
'Cause you are not
(Alright)
(You are not alright)
'Cause you are not
[Verse 2]
I am light, I am bright, I am right
I can do anything I want
Radiant, illuminate, create, create
Take hold of my harmful thoughts

[Pre-Chorus]
T-t-t-tell them to go
Somewhere else
Get out of my shell, go
Back to hell
Get out of my shell, go
Back to, back-back to, b-b-back to
'Cause you are not
(Alright)
You are not

[Verse 3]
Mornin' light, mornin' light
It's alright, it's alright
It's anesthesia singin'
C-c-c-c-c-colors in everything, everything
Everything delights your inner demons

[Pre-Chorus]
So gotta tell them to
Go somewhere else
Get out of my shell
Go back to hell
Get out of my shell
Go back to, back-back to, b-b-back
'Cause you are not
'Cause you are not
You might also like[Chorus]
And you could finally know something beautiful
To be what you could be, be what you were born for
To be alright, be alright, be alright, be alright
