Up In The Morn

About the morn and my coffee

Up In The Morn

Up in the morn looking for my coffee.
It helps me to open my eyes to see.
It gives strength where I lack and mellows me out.
I am not likely to get anxious and shout.
Because coffee brings the best out of me.

Now I am moving and grooving and starting to be me.
Got my makeup on and I am as pretty as can be.
I am past the stage where I might cast doubt.
Up in the morn.

Not to wake the others, I move out softly
Java, my friend, helps and it's not costly.
My coffee stimulates me, I look about.
I set my morning target, take my route.
Awake I am alive, and willing and free.
Up in the morn.
