Lyrics

Early riser

It’s another cold morning, but I can’t stay in bed
Too many thoughts are flying, racing round my head
I can see the dawn approaching, another day begins
I will not waste my time, worrying about pointless things

I can see some red appearing, traced out in the sky
Like a cosmic painting, arranged from up on high
But there’s little sign of movement, the trees are standing still
If I can’t be happy today, I know I never will

Nature has a way of healing, making people whole
Touches deep inside you, right down to your soul

Now people start to appear, going about their day
Making their decisions, work hard first then play
I’m still sitting contemplating, another day ahead
I could still be safe and warm, cocooned inside my bed

But nature has a way of healing, it cares for every soul
Touches deep inside you, a chance to become whole

(c) words and music G Todd 2025

This reminded me of Neil Young. The chorus is very healing. I'd like to get lost in it.
