The Mornings I've Let You Down
Bears of Legend Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It gives you a second chance
To find over the rain
And clouds in your brain, lost in the sand, a miracle man.
Young brother, I give you a hand,
A dream and a better plan
To swim across the ocean,
And all the mornings I've let you down.
You said God has just never been here,
That he works for the mothers in tears.
He'd let you fall in between
The rocks and the leaves, the skies and the trees, the grass and the seeds.
Your eyes they never come clear
On money, religion and fear.
Tonight let's just forget
The words that we said, the chairs where we sat, the good and the bad,
And all the mornings I've let you down.
You come with the highest tide,
Raised from the ground it covers us all and disappear.
You come with the highest tide,
Raised from the ground it covers us all
And all the mornings I've let you down.
You said God has just never been here,
That he works for the mothers in tears.
He'd let you fall in between
The rocks and the leaves, the skies and the trees, the grass and the seeds.
The words that we said, the chairs where we sat, the good and the bad,
The rocks and the leaves, the skies and the trees, the grass and the seeds.
The words that we said, the chairs where we sat, the good and the bad,
And all the mornings I've let you down.
The mornings I've let you down.
The mornings I've let you down.
The Bears of Legend's "The Mornings I've Let You Down" is a melancholic yet hopeful song that speaks to the struggles of a loved one who's had to face difficult times alone.

The next verse is addressed to a "young brother," and the lyrics become more personal as they offer a hand of support and a dream of a better plan. The song takes a turn as it encourages the brother to swim across the ocean and face all the challenges that life has to offer. The lyrics are symbolic of the storms that one has to endure in life, be it dust, wind, rust, or sins. The singer encourages the brother to trust his friends, who will stand by him and help him overcome every obstacle.
However, the song's core message lies in the chorus, "And all the mornings I've let you down." The singer acknowledges their shortcomings and apologizes for not being there when needed the most. The lyrics are a promise to do better and to support the brother through all the highs and lows of life. The song ends with a sense of hope, with the highest tide coming to cover them all and make things better.
