Good Morning
Jimmy Mancus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake up, wake up
Get up
There aint no use in living in your dreams
She said...
Curl all your toes,
And jump in your clothes,
The evening from your head
It seems
And though of our time is slowing
I'll see your skin that's showing through
I'll be your side...when the road gets longer this way
(chorus)
I won't let you down now
You're so high up on me baby,
Yeah, you'll be okay
Cuz one more time you put your hand in mine
And close your eyes and leave the world outside again
It's enough for me to say...
It's gonna be a good morning today
Come on, come on
Shape up, shape up
Give up
And whats the use in living life this way
I said
Cuz the tears in your eyes,
And all your goodbyes
Won't let you see that you have found your place...
With me
I know your fear is growing,
As sweet as your skin thats showing through
I'll be by your side...when the days grow colder and grey
Still you know we go this way...
(chorus)
And I won't let you out now
You're just stuck inside me baby
Yea, you'll be okay
Cuz one more time you put your faith in me
And come to see girl we were meant to be
And it's enough for me to say...
It's gonna be a good moring today
And still the years keep going
And I feel your skin thats showing through
I won't leave your side...cuz I know it's right here I'll stay
...its gonna be a good morning today
The song "Good Morning" by Jimmy Mancus is an uplifting ballad about starting a new day with a positive attitude, leaving any troubles from the past and focusing on the present. The lyrics call for the listener to wake up, to get up and leave behind the dreams and tears, to jump into one's clothes, and shake away any lingering feelings from the evening before. The song's perspective is that of a caring partner or friend, who promises to be there for the listener, to hold their hand, to make them feel safe, and to reassure them that everything will be okay.
The first verse starts with a call to action, to start the day, to face the challenges that lie ahead. However, the lyrics also recognize that it's not easy to let go of the past, and that fears and doubts can creep in. The second verse expresses empathy and understanding, acknowledging the tears in the listener's eyes, and the goodbyes they might have said, and trying to offer comfort and a sense of belonging. The chorus repeats the promise to be there for the listener, to hold them up and help them face the day, to put faith in the relationship, and to reinforce the idea that it's going to be a good morning today.
Overall, "Good Morning" is a song that inspires hope and resilience, encouraging the listener to face each day with a positive attitude and to rely on the support of others when needed.
