Lyrics:

I caught a dawn chorus this morning
And it was a show-stopper
I'm rising early again, and it's great
I took a Hell of a chance
And it's paid off handsomely
Now it looks like everything is right

And the sky was deep blue, and the air was ice-cold
I look at the sky quite a lot
Don't you know?

'Cause I don't know what the future's got in store for me
But it's gotta hold more than the past any day

Now I don't care if the past has left marks on me
Who can't assess their own damage with their own two eyes?
God knows how we did it
I guess we're all just scrabbling around in the dirt--
We just aim for the sky

There's so much pessimism around that it's frightening--
Makes you wonder where it's all gonna end
But if you get up real early--say 4:30--and look around
You'll see the world before the cynics have got out of bed
