Good Morning
India ArieÓ¡µÙÑÅ°¬Èð Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good morning silence
Good morning to myself
Good morning to the pain
In the center of my chest

It's crazy how much I miss
A simple good morning kiss
Good morning independence
Or is it loneliness?
I know I said I wanted this
But I have regrets

I pray for God's will will to be done
The very next day you were gone

And food morning to the harsh
Realities of life
And good mourning to the fact
We're not husband and wife

We made a promise to stay
Destiny got in the way

Good morning

Good morning acceptance
Good morning inner strength
I'm loving every moment
Even the strain

It's crazy how much I miss
A simple good morning kiss
It's crazy how much I've missed
Now it's time for me to live

Good morning

Good morning optimism
Good morning to my faith
Good morning to the beginning
Of a brand new day

I know that God's will will be done
So I lay down my pain and I'm moving on





I know that God's will will be done
It's a good morning after all

Overall Meaning

The song "Good Morning" by India Arie is a beautiful and introspective piece about the feeling of waking up and facing the day ahead, after going through a difficult time in life. The opening lines, "Good morning silence, good morning to myself, good morning to the pain in the center of my chest" convey the idea of the singer being alone and coming to terms with the pain she feels inside. The following lines express the longing for something simple like a good morning kiss, which is a reminder that even when we strive for independence, we still crave connections with others.


The song then goes on to suggest that independence can sometimes feel like loneliness, and that we may have regrets about choices we've made. The lyrics, "I know I said I wanted this, but I have regrets" express this feeling of ambivalence. There's also a sense of acceptance and inner strength as the singer reflects on every moment of life, even the difficult ones. The refrain "Good morning" comes back as a reminder that each day is a chance to start anew, and that optimism and faith are essential in moving forward.


Overall, the song conveys a message of hope and resilience. It acknowledges the pain of loss and missed opportunities but also celebrates the present moment and the endless possibilities of the future. This song is an excellent reminder of the importance of self-love and the power of positive thinking when facing life's challenges.
