Lyrics:
As the early morning filters through My shuttered window pane I look about and realize That things are still the same These flowers in a glass Mark the hours that have passed As I lay sleeping And I can hear my footsteps ringing Down the empty morning street And the concrete that I walk upon Is cold beneath my feet A single winging dove Reminds me of the sleeping love That I am leaving 'cause everyone must someday do his own thing 'cause everyone must someday do his own thing And I have a brand new song to sing In the morning skies the stars Begin to sputter and to fade As the night surrenders all it's claim On shadows it has made A watchdog's hungry bark Is the morning's first remark Upon my walking And everyone must someday do his own thing And everyone must someday do his own thing And I have a brand new song to sing And I'm told that if I try That I can do most anything Well then I would like to sing a song And make this morning ring As the morning turns to day Hear the waking city say Who is that singing
