Some bright morning I'm gone sail away
From all this strife and commotion
Some bright morning I'm gone sail away
Like a ship out over the ocean

I don't have land or castles
Not much money to my name
And sometimes these constant hassles
Make each moment seem just about the same

Reaching for the sun
In the work of daytime
Reaching for the dream
All through the night
Reaching out for love
Try to make it stay time
If I can hold on til tomorrow
I believe it'll be alright

Some bright morning I'm gone sail away
From all this strife and commotion
Some bright morning I'm gone sail away
Like a ship out over the ocean

Now I want you to bless all my troubled brothers
Lord as they travel down the King's highway
Bless kin and friend and others
Oh lead us in lumber to the light of day
